Still kind of gray in one of the most beautiful spots in the mid-north; but it still requires you to take off your shoes and sit in the sand for a little while.

Also, I think this was the first moment I decided to use my Bass Pro Shoppes gift card remainder (Thanks, Derek!) to buy some kickass sandals... because I earnestly desired to never put shoes on again.

And honestly? I don't think I did, until I went to the con in Seattle at the end of Route 2.
