Notes

Sunny and calm day....lots of mosquitoes. Water gently lapping on shore. Some boaters out on the lake. Saw many chipmunks, squirrels, jays, chickadees, pileated woodpecker, finches. Some weeds and slime on the rocks along shore.

Location description
This point of land at the end of Eden Road is owned on both water sides by someone we know. This side is facing north on Sand Lake and easy to access water from shoreline.
