The wind was blowing a little stronger today which can cause a surf on lakes and those waves can carve out sea caves in the softer sandstone bedrock. Waves can thunder and boom in the sea caves when the surf is heavy and the Ojibwe tribe interpreted this noise as the sound of evil spirits and may be how Devil’s Island received it name.

With the numerous muddy paw prints from the cats who want holding covering the front of my jacket and coated with sawdust all over it, my coat could use a washing. And if I threw it in one of the “Caves of All Colors”, it just swirl around like a big washing machine – at least on a calm day. There probably wouldn’t be anything left of my old jacket if it was in there on a stormy days as the waves pounded into the wall. Caves of All Colors are part of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, a U.S. National Lakeshore on the shore of Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which extends for 42 miles along the shore.

I wonder if there will be some big waves hitting Devils Island and carving out more of the sea caves if 30 mph wind gusts are predicted for today. In the winter, the sea caves turn into ice caves, and both views provide an unique experience of the sandstone caves and arches.
