This horribly blury shot shows the frozen shoreline. We walked out a ways til other people's footprints stopped and I became concerned:)
The part that look like the bottom of this thing is usually at my head level. The pier is one big icy snow drift. Also, Dwight, do you remember holding on to this and saving me from being dragged out by a huge wave? I do, I scrapped my ankle and was mildly hysterical.
