Beachworks Revisited

So, part of the summer was spent on the beach restoring the ruins of the previous Beachwork which was obliterated by some amazing spring storms. These storms also washed away a good 10-15 feet of the base of the bluff. You can see the erosion in the top photo. That ledge of exposed earth is about 6 feet off the beach in height and probably 15 feet back from where it used to be. Priority one was to run a wall along the new base to keep the lake from eating any more of it. In particular saving that oak right in front. Happy to report that the oak has survived the summer storms and has now made it mid way through October. I am cautiously optimistic.

 The other part of the project was to reconfigure the wall that runs back up the bluff. In this photo you can see where it stands. I will just keep running the sloping wall up and back until the stone runs out. We'll see how it goes.

 In a totally unrelated subject. Great mushroom from the side yard of the school. Pretty impressive.
