In warm temps, Mark's gang headed northeast up the Keweenaw to hike in to Horseshoe Harbor preserve.
 |
| It was HOT here. |
 |
| Oh good, we head down the road towards the shore. |
 |
| I'm glad Bella came. |
 |
| They need to look at a map. I see the trail just fine. |
 |
| On the shore, a brisk west wind makes it cooler here. This is another Copper Harbor conglomerate outcrop. |
 |
| Mark crosses this crevasse. It's quite deep. |
 |
| The people were nervous crossing it so again, I showed them how to jump over. |
 |
| The white rock is stromatolites found here. This is a fossilized algae and very, very old. |
 |
| Me and Bella took a cool dip. |
 |
| The 2-leggeds egged me out to show them how to swim. |
 |
| I recommend dog-paddliing. |
 |
| Time to head back. |
 |
| A closer look at the stromatolite. |
 |
| This one had been drilled for core sampling. |
 |
| One last cooling dip. |
 |
| This lake is the prettiest! |
 |
| I swam laps around them. |
 |
| Yaaaaaaaa. |
 |
| Time to head back to the car. |
 |
| We're so glad the Nature Conservancy has kept this special place open for everyone. |
