Incredible Blue Skies! What gorgeous weather! We have spent the whole day here at Muskallonge Lake State Park. In fact we didn’t even unhitch the T@B when we arrived yesterday. We’ve been enjoying deliciously warm temperatures, crisp winds, and clear sapphire skies. This morning we did housekeeping by taking everything out of the lower kitchen cabinets, purging a few items, and putting it all back a little more organized. Then we repeated that process in the storage compartment we call “the basement” where we keep leveling blocks, chocks, stakes, and such things that are needed of getting the T@B situated on a new site. Later in the afternoon we strolled the Superior shore again. This time we headed west. There’s less shoreline in that direction and we had to make our way around some fallen trees to continue along the shore. Gave us an opportunity to ponder the forces of nature on this mighty lake. First of all the lake level is higher since our first visit three years ago thanks to a couple of harsh winters. When the lake freezes the ice cover prevents evaporation. Second we saw significant erosion of the bank indicating a furious storm in the recent past. We would have loved to have been in the company of a geobiologist who could have helped us understand the layers of sand and peat that we could see there. A glorious day!
We added only one more specimen to the collection of PLRs (pretty little rocks) that grace our picnic table.
And we enjoyed the tail end of daylight with a successful geocache search and sunset over Muskallonge Lake.
