Leland Michigan's Safe Harbor

Can you see the silhouette of people in the distance? They are doing what is fondly called "walking on the rocks." 

The breakwater in Leland Harbor makes for a fun "after ice cream" walk for vacationers. When you've had a lovely dinner in town, you've peeked in all the shop windows and you still can't bear to let the day end, a "walk on the rocks" is a fun way for the sure-footed to watch the sun go down over the harbor.

I used to "walk on the rocks" with my dad all the time when I was around 10 years old.  A little fresh air and what seemed like a very adventurous route across the harbor made for some great memories.

Now when I look at the harbor, I see a beautiful place where time stands still.
