On Friday, Aug 23, 2013, we were luck enough to gain seats at the last minute for an interpretive Nature Exploration of Presque Isle's Misery Bay and lagoons. Our captain of the boat also was our tour guide. He gave us history of Misery Bay and some of the War of 1812, and Oliver Hazard Perry and his role in our area. We had a full boat. We went out into Misery Bay, saw some sites, and then proceeded back into the lagoons. We here learned more about the way Nature landscapes the Peninsula, and also continues to do so. We were able to view some beaver dam lodges, and heard about some of the local wildlife and fauna, and also some of the invasive European invaders. The second British Invasion! Any way. along the way, we can to a resting site for turtles. I have called them the Heads Up Family. And you will see why in just a few. Also was lucky enough to catch a few photos of water Lillie's in bloom. Sit back, and enjoy a few photos.
And here below were some people enjoying the self guided tour in their kayaks.
