St Joseph lighthouse

We’re in sawyer this weekend and had an errand to run in nearby St Joseph. While there, we visited the lakefront and their lighthouses.

I somehow didn’t get a photo of the main lighthouse, so see above here! There are two lighthouses together who’s is for navigation – a ship can position so that the two lights are lined up and be sure that the passage in to the shore is deep and safe. This is import and at this spot where a river meets the lake, since the river is dredged regularly to remove sediment and stay 25’ deep, but this process makes the lake on either side shallow.

Catwalk that allows access to the lighthouse at the end of the pier even when the lower level is covered in ice in winter
Lake side = green
River side = almost black
Water mixing where the river empties into the lake
All the sailboats were black and white, fancy dress sailing day!
