Another nice day in the Backcountry

June 15, 2009


Another 4 day trip to the favorite location, Nordhouse Dunes. The day started rather early (2:00 AM) to get me to the parking lot by 6:00 AM. Good trip up, did see about 15 deer on the drive into the parking lot. Great day for the pack in however, much to my surprise, when I got to where I wanted to camp, someone was already there, so I needed to move down the beach a little way.
So this was home for the 4 days and 3 nights.




Was nice and close to the beach, so getting water was not a problem. Was nice to set right in camp as be able to enjoy the lake.






The lake is higher this year than last year. They say it's up 13 inches from last year. This is the same shot that I took last year.



This is this year.





This was last year.










Sunset tonight was not the greatest. Hopefully there will be better ones this week.

Today was walk day, like always. Took a trip up one of the other trails just to see where is went. Nice trail, easy walk. this trail does come out at the beach right about where I thought it would. I think this trail is called Algoma, which comes out half way up the beach to the campground on the north end.





Strange, there were survey marker on my map but was never able to find any of them. At the end of this trail one was right along the trail.







Enjoy the sunset as I did.
