Alabama executed someone with nitrogen in 2024 (I know other states have as well, but this was the first one I remember reading about), it doesn’t seem as quick and painless as one is lead to believe in writing.

A witness told the BBC that Smith thrashed violently on the gurney and the execution took around 25 minutes. … “I’ve been to four previous executions and I’ve never seen a condemned inmate thrash in the way that Kenneth Smith reacted to the nitrogen gas,” Lee Hedgepeth told the BBC’s Newsday programme.

Looks like this was a while ago, but I just joined lemmy, so I’ll throw my $0.02 here.

I went to Michigan tech, so all my spots are in the UP.

I camped at High Rock Bay (tip of the keewenaw) with some friends last year, that was a great spot! It’s a dusty 1 lane washboard road to get there, so take your time.

I do some astrophotography, so I’ve spend many a nights at Breakers, schoolcraft beach, eagle harbor, copper harbor, brockway, and along the shore of lake superior (roadside parks). I’m sure there’s some actual camping locations at / near those.

As a side note, the northern lights have been increasing in activity and intensity over the past year, so a camping trip to the UP may be worth it!
