Our morning LAKE walk along the shore from the campground at Memorial Park to Thompson Park-West End campground winds through woods and along gravel road, the Washburn Marina, and hilly terrain consisting of low, swampy land and grassy knolls. We spotted these wood anemones along the path.
How cold is it? The Mister checks out the water temp at the West End boat launch. He thought it was a temperature suitable for wading. The muddy color is the result of run-off from all of the rain in the area. The entire Chequamenon Bay is reddish brown from the iron-rich soil run-off this spring. It will settle to the bottom and become the wonderful clear blue of SUPERIOR if the rains ever let up.
About 3:45 today a wind/rain/thunderstorm passed through the area. There were black skies, falling branches and huge wavy waves on the LAKE. The top of a tall pine right on the shoreline snapped off at Site 41 right on the LAKE (the best camping site ever). Luckily no one was camping there today.
