Lake Huron

This was the Lake Huron shore at Tawas Point, Michigan. We recently toured the Lake Huron shore from the thumb to the bridge and discovered two things, that Lake Huron is much clearer than Lake Michigan and that its shore is not sand dunes as is Lake Michigan's. We also found the water very high in the Great Lakes, in some places threatening homes and recreation areas and washing away beaches. These photos illustrates what we found.

Forty Mile Point Lighthouse

I've posted here photos of three more lighthouses we saw on our tour of Lake Huron's west shore, this the Forty Mile Point Light near Presque Isle, Michigan. Not only is this light still active but has a light keeper living in the house. Completed in 1896, it has a fourth order Fresnel lens.
