Already in my book: ‘Things you shouldn’t do in the water’

[SkyPilot]

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy

That’s Lake Michigan?? I never thought the surrounding area would look that void of vegetation!

Zebra mussels have taken over the whole lake. Main cause of “crystal clear” water which is not a good thing.

That is Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. There are several large dunes on the Lake Michigan coast.

I am surprised they left out The Francisco Morrison, which is a freighter that ran aground 40 years ago off the south coast of South Manitou Island, and still sticks out of the water, although it is less and less as it deteriorates over the years.

There are some massive sand dunes surrounding Lake Michigan. Check out pictures of Sleeping Bear Dunes.
