The Tettegouche arch before its collapseCourtesy Kate HintzThe picturesque Tettegouche arch on Lake Superior's North Shore has finally collapsed. The oft-photographed rock-bridge was located in Tettegouche State Park near Illgen City, MN. Featured in the Science Buzz's Geology Safari, the arch withstood thousands of years of erosion, not to mention the constant tug of gravity since its formation. But sometime this past weekend it finally submitted to the elements.

Wow. This Tettegouche arch failure makes me feel older than ___.
older than Brett Favre?
Yes! I mean no! Wait, I'm not sure.
I'm glad someone wrote a story on this! The falling of the arch is definitely the end of a north shore tourism era. By the way, the correct spelling is "tettegouche" for future reference.
Thanks for the heads-up on my typo. I have corrected it.
