A real man surfs in lake Superior.
"A real man surfs in lake Superior."
LOL! Husband was camping up there in August when we had that week of 100+ degree temps. He camps/fishes up there nearly every year since I've known him and this year was the first time in about 15 years that they could actually tolerate even dipping a TOE into Lake Superior. He admits that there was still considerable "shrinkage." LOL!

She is seriously nothing to mess with, even from the shoreline. ;)
Not unless he wants to turn into a popsicle in about 10 minutes.
I've been wading -- not swimming -- in Superior as a kid. Even in July, there's only about 6" of halfway-comfortable water on the surface. Below it is a layer of colder water, very uncomfortable, and a couple of feet down, it's freezing cold -- and has been for 10,000 years.
