after an IL trip I finally got to go back to my beloved lake the other day. Over a series of 3 days I went to 6 different locations. The wind and waves have been high here and because the water level in Lake Huron is so high, there is lots of erosion and shifting of material on the lakefront.
below- note the shale under the bushes on the lower left? that went out for 20-30 feet last year, the underlying rocks have been washed of sand and shale as far as the bushes, when the water is quiet it will be right up to them. no more beach! 
Many places exposed which have probably been hidden for eons. I will have a good deal of trouble accessing one of my favorite hunting locations, as most of what was beach is now under water and the best place is beneath a sort of cliff/ cut away hill that is too steep to climb. I'll have to make my own path through the woods to get to it now. Outdoors adventure for sure. did find a couple of interesting ones on the last trip out. One passable pudding stone and this odd thing. 
rainy today, going to stay in and make grandma's recipe for pressed oatmeal cookies. makes the house smell so good. have a great day! |

I went to church last night so I could get out on the beach this morning. After that wind yesterday, the rocks should be well mixed. Your pictures have me pumped up.

it sounds great out there, waves booming off the rock bottom. All the rocks rattling across themselves back and forth... be sure to post your finds!

Glad you were out there snowmom! Hopefully all of Nature's chaos will bring you some new beauties. Looks like that last pic is a mossy agate?!? Let us in on your further adventures! ~Roland |

rockroller, I have no idea what it is, because of the partially melted rocks included I lean toward thinking it is some sort of impact melt, things here are often too complex to understand. I did like the wavy lines through it though. I think it would be interesting to see what it is like when cut. going out again today, the wind is supposed to be fairly quiet and I may be able to get along the shore somehow. Wading is not beyond my willingness, but not in 5 ft waves!
