Low Water 2003


The Lake Huron shoreline looks pretty low this spring. However, here's a view from Cedar Bluff on April 27, 2003 that shows White Rock Shoal as almost dry bottom land. The initial seawall at the base of the bluff had been installed in 2000. It was put in place because the water had been lapping at the base of the bluff in the  1990's.

A photo like this almost makes one think that some giant creature pulled the plug on the Great Lakes.Where does the water go? As sophisticated and technologically savvy as geology,  meteorology, and other sciences are, no one has a definitive answer.
