Road Trip 2009: Phase Two; Family and Friends

Abby and I took a nice morning walk on the beach and though town.

We stopped and talk to the Dredgers who have been here since March dredging out the marina area.

All of the old steele piers have been removed and new floating piers are going to be installed as soon as they can dredge to a consistent 9 feet deep in the marina area.

Rock and sand are being moved, via large flexible pipes, down the beach a bit to fill in an area where more beach is desired.

There is also considerable construction going on on the waterfront and all seems to be aimed at the opening of the "season" coming up soon.

The top photo is across from our room; the historic Fish Town section of town and the lower photo of the same area from above the falls with Fish Town on the right and our hotel on the left.

We're off in search of more Lake Perch, all a bonus at this point so the pressure is off. We have a short distance to go so will wander and explore this beautiful area before landing on the doorstep of relatives in Buelah, Michigan.

Visiting Mary Jane yesterday was the transition in our trip from Phase One; following HWY 2 across the western part of the country, to Phase Two; dropping down through Michigan into Indiana visiting friends and family and attending Jim's 50th High School reunion.
