Notes

Foul odour detected while traversing the hill from Hwy 17 down to the water. Possibly a carcass or something dead in the forest adjacent to the trail.

Water level is significantly lower than my last visit.
Lake Superior is approximately 3 feet lower since my last observation.
The water on Michipicoten River was moving relatively fast and exhibited a red hue due to its sandy bottom and morning sunlight.
