Boulder hopping

White sandy beaches are great for swimming, sunning and sandcastle building but a rugged rock strewn shore with driftwood cast about is the best for hiking. The Geology Walk along Lake Superior in Neys PP takes us across the remnants of an ancient volcano and is a perfect example of that kind of walk.  The walk is easy among wave tumbled, smooth boulders atop great stone outcroppings that remind me of the backs of breaching whales.  Other sections are a bit more challenging.  We hop jagged boulder to jagged boulder, across deep open fractures and scramble down drop offs.  It takes a toll on knees but is a wonderful walk with great views even on this overcast morning.
