Well…I’m pretty sure I bitched a bit here about how they were putting the dredged sand on the beach and specifically about the pond that was left after they finished the north end…but, I may have been wrong about that…when I was at the beach today, the busiest part was that little pond where small children were playing and it was ringed by parents watching them…the pond is only about 18 inches deep and much warmer than the lake without any big waves that were knocking me down today…so I can see the attraction if it stays clear as it has for the couple of weeks it’s been there…not sure what will happen when a big storm hits but I like the character the beach has with a couple of hills and lower spots that leave a long, gently sloping beach….I did get out to play in the waves for a bit today and one of them dragged me along the sand on my chest…and face and that hurt a bit but no permanent damage…..
