It was almost cold today. During my ride the temperature ranged between 40-45° F, with a stiff southerly breeze around 20 MPH. It was also overcast and even just a bit hazy at times. I still managed to ride out to Point 13, the last time I have to deal with a “no wheels” policy for a while. But then, on both sides of this point, the old shore trail has been washed out at some point, so there’s not even an equestrian trail out here.
Because the point faces south, today the waves splashed pretty hard on the rocks there. I have pictures from a couple of years ago, but I don’t recall seeing this point at all. There is extensive flat rocky shelving here partly because of the erosion. You can see the bottom end of the sign marking this as Point 13, lying over in its side.
This is the view back to Point 12 from the west side of Point 13. It’s got a short bluff for quite some ways back. The eastern side of the point is thickly covered in trees right down to the water in most places. The remains of the old shore trail are nearly completely overgrown since there’s virtually no way to get to it across the washout. Even that wasn’t very picturesque.
Next up is the long trail out to the longest point on the lake.
Love these photos. Seriously looks like an alien world to me 🙂
