North of the Tension Line


Angel, Lexie, Aunt Beth, Amy, and Will
This is in front of Aunt Beth's Garden after church. Aunt Beth is Chris' aunt, but she counts me as one of her own. Will is Beth's grandson.

The Lighthouse on Plum Island. I believe that it is Pottawatomie Lighthouse. The area here is called Death's Door. Beth's father-in-law lived and worked on Plum Island for three years while in the Coast Guard. There are many shallow, rocky areas around the island known as "Death's Door."

Angel and Lexie fishing in Detroit Harbor.

Lexie on Schoolhouse Beach. The rocks are all smooth. It is incredible.

A lake boat at sunset. The lake boats haul iron ore from the mines to be processed. You can see the curvature of the earth on the lake.

Today we are planning on going to Rock Island if the weather permits. There is an old lighthouse that people can stay in for a week if they agree to give three tours a day to tourists. There are also campsites and an old boathouse that was built to look like Vikings may have used it.

Amy, the pictures are beautiful. I have not been to many places but this would be a place I would love to go to. I can see God's hand in His creation. I am happy for you. Relax and enjoy!!!
