Landing Party
Arriving back at Sheridan Landing after a gorgeous run on October 7, it was a surprise to find another car at the rarely used launch. In mid-sentence of mid-chat, the driver suddenly stopped talking as he stared at a another surprise – a very young and very skinny kitten who had wandered out of the woods.
Here he is in the back of Sue’s truck before heading home.
And, here he is in his new home getting used to his new name, Sheridan.

Yard Work
An inexpensive tripod adapter makes low light shots easy with a smartphone. These are all of the northern rail yard in Muskegon very early on September 22, 2015. As with nearly everything for the last six months, all were shot with an LG G4.

Web Query
The crazy network of connectors between the north and south branches of the Muskegon River is so extensive that locals named it the Spider Web.
Does anyone know if these were passages that were used for moving lumber? Many seem man made, but most don’t appear to be wide enough for trees. Maybe they were used instead to quickly move labor to wherever it was needed?
This is looking west up one of the chutes on August 13, 2015.
