Battered and tattered snow fence has gone up in the Grand Haven State Park. A beautiful day on the beach, but with the tourists gone, up goes the fence.
Snow fence is not quite accurate… more of a sand fence. It only takes a wind speed of eight miles per hour to begin moving sand. When the gales come, it gets wild quickly. Long before the snow begins in December, the wind storms will come. As the State Park closes in October, the roads and parking lot will drift over with sand.
The other day, we had a mini wind storm. As I stood outside taking the below picture, sand was biting away at my face and hands.
There are those who long for a never-changing beach. Always sunny, warm and calm. Give me a beach of many faces… beautiful and tranquil some days, other days the power and glory on full display.
