life's a beach

This evening erin and i went to the beach. noticing that they are charging parking fees at Rosy Mound, we decided instead to go to this little patch of beach further south. I find the orange plastic fencing most interesting, having never seen beaches with a fence running up to the water like this. I guess the property owners here are serious about people staying out of their view of Lake Michigan...


I can find it so funny that the beach itself can be divided by plastic fencing, and that this is the public beach, a 30-foot wide strip of sand out of the thousands of miles of lakeshore we have in this state. There can be no wondering why Grand Haven beach (et al) are so crowded in the summer, as people from all over the state migrate west for the weekend only to be directed to the designated "beach" areas. Our society is so weird. More on that here .
