After crossing bridge and pass store on left watch for left turn.

Search the area behind the church.

Road cut was once good hit spot but has grown over so much not much to see.

If lake level were lower it works to hit shoreline on north side of lake.

FYI, zebra mussel invasion has really taken over at the lake, greatly hampering shoreline efforts when the water drops.

Oh so true. So many of our once great state's lakes have been invaded by these invasive mollusks it makes for some terrible barefoot walks on the beach in some places.

 

Dan,

Are these an import from China or some oriental?

Zebra Mussels are originally from the Caspian Sea region of Northern Iran, Azerbaijan, southern Russia, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. Due to extensive trade between this region and Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries they were able to spread.Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) ... Zebra mussels are native to Eastern Europe and Western Russia and were brought over to the Great Lakes in the ballast water of ships. Populations of zebra mussels were first discovered in the Great Lakes in 1988.
