1st a Fly Day

Fly Days, Walkabout, , ,

Sept 6 -Today we started our “Walk About” in the air checking out the shore line erosion caused by wave action and bluff erosion cause by rain & wind. Thought these sample photos might give you an appreciation of the issue. Also included a view  of the Harbor Shores Jack Nicklaus Golf Course -Benton Harbor, MI and surrounding beach areas.

Cardiac hill climb – If i got down the stairs I would need a helicopter to get back up!
A sample of the bluff erosion North of St. Joseph, MI. 
Shore line pilings and rip/ rap do help minimize shore line erosion, especially of the bluffs. But at a cost!
When the bluffs start to go, they go quickly!
Summer mostly over. Here we see Jean Klock Beach which  boarders the Harbor Shores Jack Nicklaus Golf Course in Benton Harbor, MI
