First drive of the year west on H58

I went to Marquette and was able to take H58 west for the first time this year.  The road surface was free of snow, but there is still snow along the side of the road and in the woods.

I drove into Twelve Mile Beach.  There is a pathogen killing the white birch trees.  So sad....

I walked over to the bluff....

Shoreline photos....

Next I stopped at the Log Slide.  The viewing platform has broken off and slid down the dune.  Thus, the platform area is closed.

 

So I walked through the woods to the west of the platform to get a couple of photos.

By the time I arrived back in Grand Marais, I was able to capture the last part of the sunset.
