Sunset on Lake Michigan, temps in the upper 70, water temps in the high 60's, calm seas. Can't get much better than this. "The older I get, the better I was"

Second day in a row of clear skies, about 3rd or 4th day all summer to break 70. Little lakes higher than I've ever seen them. Last edited by las; 07/22/23.

Still, it beats being landlocked, which for me is a dealbreaker. "What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated." Thomas Paine

Maybe drive 3 1/2 hours west across the mountains and enjoy air temps around 80, water temp 69, a lot more green and still quite a few bass! An hour further west and enjoy salty air, mild air temps that rarely break 85, cold water in the high 50s, and some company: Washington is a truly beautiful place to live….except for the people and politics.
