Always enjoy your videos even the older ones. You and people you bring along are so informative about the rocks and fossils. Always show off some gorgeous scenery. Ive watched other youtube Michigan rockhounding channels and seem to come back to yours. Thank you
My dog _loved_ CheezIts. She knew the box by sight. The sound of the inner wrapper summoned her from across the house. We called her the cheese hound. So, we know Kyle is a rock hound... ;)
Sounds like my daughter. Not about Cheez-its specifically, but If we ever were in the kitchen getting a snack, she'd magically appear right behind us. She had a sense for snacks.
The water is so clear. It had to be very refreshing to take a dip. The coolest shot of the day was of Wild Kyle underwater. The giant sinkhole was incredible. Thanks for sharing another excellent adventure.
What a great video and a spectacular place! I loved the drone footage of the sinkhole. The water is so clear there. I loved that big, rough Petoskey stone. Not great for polishing but so cool in that rough state. I’m like Kyle, I love that rough state and would also pick those up. Have a fabulous day! 🙌🏼💯😃
I think it's fun to go out hunting with other people because everyone finds different things interesting. My son in law looks at rocks from a geological perspective, while I look at them from a lapidary perspective. Kyle loves fossils, so he had a different focus than I did.
The aerial footage of the sink hole is like 🤯. I’m going to pretend a deep water monster lives in there. His name is Gustav Klimt. 4:50 That’s a sloth face! 6:50 is fascinating…stunning! The little canoe shaped rock was cool. One could use it to display small rocks like puddingstones etc. Kyle seems like such a sweet young man.
That's what I usually call Kyle, "sweet young man". He loves it when I do that. I'll have to remember to call Gustav by name next time I paddle over him.
I am so jealous! I would love to hunt for both of those beautiful stones! Not to mention the fantastic scenery! You are both so very lucky! Enjoyed every minute of your hunt, thank you! Please be careful and stay safe.
LOL both Cheez-its and Mt Dew are beloved to me! Another great share, Rob, you and Kyle make a fun team to watch. The underwater shots by the edge were really pretty, especially the light refraction into the deep. Really interesting piece around the 6 minute mark, great patterns. Thanks for taking us along ^_^
No idea how I missed this one, but made up for it today. That water was mesmerizing and a sinkhole never fails to impress. What a great adventure and looks like you had excellent company Rob. My kayak would have sunk from all the rocks I would have to keep for sure. The boat rock would have been a great display for a small succulent plant or two. Thanks for sharing!
Someone sent me a picture of a rock that they found on this beach after this video. It was one that they recognized from the video and picked up. So it is possible to see a rock that I put back and get it for yourself.
Great video! Been following your channel for awhile now, just got to go on my first rock hunt with my girlfriend for our anniversary near TC! Got some great stuff, and planning the next trip already. Thanks for the great content, definitely inspired both of our interests!
The abundance of great rocks allows you to be discriminating in what you take home. I'm watching from MO and am 'drooling' over the variety that you have to choose from. Happy picking.
Good afternoon Rob, nice to see Bill’s place again! Long time fantasy of mine is to own a natural cave but one just large enough to not attract attention. Bill has part of that going on. I have a live creek that attracts copious wildlife but no rocks. The sinkhole does a good job preserving the wood it’s grabbed. Thanks for sharing Rob, shout-out to Kyle, you guys stay safe.
Hey John. Bill does have a couple small caves. His son went into one a bit, but it sounds like you have to squeeze in a pretty small area. There's no huge cavern underneath as far as I know.
Great day with the Wild Kyle , Rob , these are great collabs . Do you think you will go back to Florida anytime soon Rob ? Thanks for bringing us along on this adventure . Cheers
I'm definitely not going to Florida soon. It's hot down there this time of year! This winter, we don't plan to go either. We will likely travel somewhere, but somewhere different this year.
I could easily watch and listen to an hour long video of just the sights and sounds 💦 as you paddle through the water. What a fun day you two had! Thanks for taking us along.
Such a beautiful place. The sink hole creaps me out. Looks like you both had an amazing time out there. You found some cool rocks and enjoyed nature. Awesome video. Thanks for taking us along. Now to go watch wild Kyle's video.
The sink hole creeps me out a bit too. I'm more comfortable the more times I paddle over it. There's nothing to actually be afraid of, but the water just goes black so quickly that it's eerie.
Ya I just don't think I could do it. I still have to get use to a kayak. Still haven't been in mine yet. Hopefully after these injections I'll be able to sit in it.
That sink hole is amazing! you just really dont know how really deep that gets, until you see it from above! the drone shots is cool! It is so beautiful in that area. There is so many petoskey stones in that area! That brecciated something was beautiful. Just gorgeous out there and i love when you get to collab! Beautiful day on the water! some really cool rocks. And cool underwater shots! Thanks for sharing!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Do you know if anyone has made any diving videos in that sinkhole? Cheez-its...did I hear cheez-its? My favorite travel snack!!! If you have to make a meal of them try peanut butter as dip! Yum! Georgious day, beautiful beaches and rocks...Rocks....ROCKS!!!! A good day on the planet!
They've put ROVs (Remote Operated Vehicles) down there and in other sinkholes in the area. If you do some searching you can find some videos. There's some interesting biology in the bottom of those things.
Loved the video. What a beautiful place. That sink hole is just incredible. I really loved that Brecciated stone. Good for you for picking up the rubbish. I really don't like those balloons.
Always an awesome collaboration when you guys get together! You have inspired me to show off some of the deep sinkhole springs near where I rockhound... I'm not sure how I will work that into a video but southern Missouri has some similar sink holes that are even deeper like 300 feet or so I think! I think you found some of the best Potoski stones and that brecciated whatever it was was really cool! I'd have kept that! Rock on Rob 👍
I love sinkholes. They're really interesting to me because we don't have many exposed rock faces here like I can see in a sinkhole. My videos on just looking at sinkholes have not done very well, but I do like to incorporate them into a video like this when I can.
Fun watching you guys out n about. Nice finds. Seeing the sinkhole again was cool! It might be cool to send an underwater video drone / ROV / submersible camera thingamabob down there.
ROVs have been sent down before. I have thought about dropping a GoPro down on a string, but I'd need to get a case that can take more pressure. I'm not sure there would be enough light down there to see much.
Thanks Rob for taking us with you! Beautiful Video! Can I ask, did you even take one rock home with you from this trip??!? I really enjoy your videos!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
Well Kyle really likes those Cheezits. Saw more of him eating those than rocks 😂😂😂. I agree on the rubbish, there is a saying, “take 3 for the sea”. Pickup 3 pieces of rubbish every time you go out. Thanks for sharing, great day looks like a load of fun, and how cool is that sink hole.
I worked a temp job at Kellogg's - home of the Cheezit! We were upgrading systems and there was a lot of talk about the Cheezit Warehouse because that facility didn't run the same as other manufacturing locations. 😁
I just love your channel Rob and I don't know how wild Kyle stays so slender did you bring him like 10 bags of those cheese nips anyway thanks for sharing your day it looked like it was beautiful and sounded like it too
🙋♀️🌞 What a great episode! I doubt you took any of those large pudding stones home, but they were great! I'll check out Kyle's channel. I think he must be related to Chester Cheetah! A cool dude in a loose Mood!
Heck yes Rob. I alllllways bring a plastic bag with me for garbage. It is the right thing to do AND in case I accidentally wander onto private property it helps keep everyone happy. Win/win I say!
@@MichiganRocks It has only happened to me once but they were so happy I was picking up trash that they offered their property to me for rockhounding anytime! It really is an excellent practice overall. Thanks for all of your wonderful content!
Awesome video Rob! Found your channel from Wild Kyle. That sure is a beautiful place where you live. Thanks for this share. Me and the wife are heading to Michigan for the first time next month
Have a lot of sinkholes in North Florida but they are not in a lake some are dry and are full of water and they drop off just like that one in your lake I enjoyed your videos and wild Kyle is a cool guy 👍👍👍👍🗝️
I think so. They've put ROVs down there for sure. Bill tells me that there's a college group that comes up every year to study the sink holes in the bay. There are actually three of them, but the one I showed is by far the largest. Bill talks more about the sinkhole in this video: th-cam.com/video/JkEE_dnwoUk/w-d-xo.html
I was on the Superior North Shore while you guys were there. I'm catching up today. Bless you, Rob. I've always got my bucket of rocks and my bag of garbage. Don't deny your rock licking desires. 😆 I think the next video you guys do together, you should have a contest give away. Guess how many cheez-its Kyle can fit in his mouth. Like jellybeans in the jar. 🤣
The boat shaped Rock was really cool. I thought it looked more like a slice of cantaloupe. Wouldn't some polished rocks look pretty sitting in that scoop
I suppose they would have, but it would have only held about four or five small ones. It would look like peas in a pod. I kind of wish I would have thought of that now.
Great stuff. Already saw Kyle's. Why is there a sink hole? Meteorite? Glacier? That ground out "boat" looks like a First Nation tool. TFS your adventures. 💖💔🏏🎸
Sink holes form in karst topography. The bedrock here is limestone, which erodes leaving voids beneath the ground. When those cave in, you get a sinkhole. Here's a page about some local sinkholes: caves.org/conservancy/mkc/ I don't think that was an artifact. I looked at it for a long time thinking about whether it might be or not. The inside and sides of the "boat" were much rougher than the bottom of the "boat". I'd think if it was a tool of some sort, the inside would be worn smooth. I also couldn't figure out what tool this could possibly be. I could be wrong, of course, since I don't know much at all about Native American artifacts.
Such a gorgeous day on the water! So relaxing to watch, too. I wonder if that canoe-looking rock was some kind of Native American metate? I’m just a newbie to that stuff, but if there was evidence that the dugout part was worked rather than natural, it’s a possibility.
I thought of something like that, but the inside and sides were both much rougher than the outside. ipIf it had been used for grinding, I would expect the inside to be smoother or at least show some wear marks.
Rob, you’re messing with my mind ! It’s only Monday. I’ll have to say that is one of the cheesiest videos you have ever put out ! It looks like you guys had a really good time. The sink holes are crazy. I don’t think I’d like to be out on the water when one of those things decided to develop. I’d probably be like being flushed down a giant toilet. Thanks for cleaning up the environment as you go. The beaches that I’m able to get to are pretty well clean but I always pick up the trash when I’m out metal detecting.
@@davidhile5363 Sure. There are two videos that show the earth crack in Bill's yard. One is actually in his yard: th-cam.com/video/JkEE_dnwoUk/w-d-xo.html The other was filmed before I knew Bill and is in the land right next to his property: th-cam.com/video/RO6LNjSinkQ/w-d-xo.html
@@MichiganRocks Interesting geology there for sure. I wonder if the entire area didn’t sink at one time and that is what formed the bay and caused the earth cracks. It would be interesting to have Dr. Nat and Capt. Paul’s take on that.
The source of the puddingstones is at the eastern end of Lake Superior, so that's about the only place on the north shore of the lake that you'd find them. I don't think there are any Petoskeys in Lake Superior. They're found south of a line from about Rogers City (on Lake Huron) to Harbor Springs (on Lake Michigan. That's just an approximation, but there is a northern limit.
I did not keep it and I don't think it's an artifact. I stood there on the beach looking at it for a long time trying to decide if it might be an artifact. The inside was much rougher than the outside, which leads me to believe it was broken. If it had been used for grinding something on the inside, I'd expect it to be worn smoother. I could be wrong, but that was my thinking.
Wow what beautiful scenery! I love it! My husband and I would love to take a trip up there to do some Rockhounding . Do you have any places you would suggest we go?? We are coming from Arizona and have never been there and my main reason to go is to rockhound . Would appreciate any info :)
The place in this video is way above average for Lake Huron, probably because it's so hard to get to. You couldn't really go here from a public access point without a kayak. I'd suggest you head to the U.P. and hunt rocks in Lake Superior. You won't find the same rocks that I found in this video, but there are lots of great rocks there. I just got back from a four day camping trip there just to hunt rocks. I'd consider going to the Keweenaw Peninsula. There are some good beaches for hunting rocks, but there is also a lot of mining culture from back when that was the biggest copper producing spot in the world. The scenery is beautiful. There are rugged rocky shorelines, great views from places like Brockway Mountain Drive, mine tailings piles like Cliff Mine where you can look for small pieces of copper or chisel chips where old time miners chiseled the copper by hand. There's a great shop called The Jam Pot where Byzantine Catholic monks make and sell jams and bakery items that are amazing. Copper Harbor is an awesome little town at the tip of the peninsula. There's a mineral museum in Houghton that is amazing. My son in law, who is a geologist has been there and to the Smithsonian and said that the museum in Houghton has a better mineral collection. McClain State Park and the Mouth of the Gratiot River are two of my favorite beaches to hunt in that area. The other spot I like is the eastern U.P. from Grand Marais, Michigan to Whitefish Point. This area is much more remote, but not as beautiful. There are a lot of jack pine forests and plenty of beaches. The roads are almost all dirt and can be pretty rough. This is the area I just got back from. I like the rock hunting better here and I do love the area even though it's not as pretty as the Keweenaw Peninsula. I just love how remote it is. I didn't have cell phone reception for almost the entire time I was there.
My replies keep dumping, so maybe not supposed to include an email. Me daughter&family are camping at Pictured Rocks and Munising. We love to hunt your recommendations. Do you have any for that area, especially for yooperlites & agates? Thanks, Kelli
It’s illegal to collect rocks in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Park. Anywhere between Grand Marais and Whitefish Point is good for those two rocks.
I launched from my friend's house, but there's a nature preserve right next door. To get here, drive past the LaFarge Cement plant (Ford Avenue/Misery Bay Road) about four miles to North Point Road. North Point Road is the first road to the left, do not confuse it with North Point Shores, which is a private road to the right. After turning on to North Point Road, you'll pass a few houses on your right. Just past the last house, look for a gate on your right. Park on the side of the road and walk in. It's about a quarter mile walk (rough guess) to where the trail comes to the water. I have a set of wheels for my kayak and I have dragged it down this road to access the bay. Otherwise, you'd have to kayak a very long ways to get here. I can't think of any other access.
Check out Kyle's video here: th-cam.com/video/ctlclUBMHhM/w-d-xo.html
Always enjoy your videos even the older ones. You and people you bring along are so informative about the rocks and fossils. Always show off some gorgeous scenery. Ive watched other youtube Michigan rockhounding channels and seem to come back to yours. Thank you
Thanks for the compliment. I don't feel like I know all that much, but I pass on what I do know. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.

I'm just glad I was expecting to see him. Can you imagine seeing that if you weren't expecting it?
What a great video and a spectacular place! I loved the drone footage of the sinkhole. The water is so clear there. I loved that big, rough Petoskey stone. Not great for polishing but so cool in that rough state.
I’m like Kyle, I love that rough state and would also pick those up.

: Thank you for taking Us on an adventure. We are blessed to have lakes that give us wonders. 💯
We are blessed. I love this state. God was generous with Michigan.
Thanks Rob for taking me a long with you and Kyle.
The abundance of great rocks allows you to be discriminating in what you take home. I'm watching from MO and am 'drooling' over the variety that you have to choose from. Happy picking.
Yes it does. I used to pick up more, but since we do have such a good supply, I only take home the best now.
I just love that you guys have been becoming rock hounding besties... Two of my favorite TH-camrs to watch!
We really have become good friends.
The water is so clear and clean!! Great rocks too!! ❤
Yep, we have good water here in Michigan.
Love the unusual rocks esp.
Cool the 2 different perspectives on picking different rocks
Good afternoon Rob, nice to see Bill’s place again! Long time fantasy of mine is to own a natural cave but one just large enough to not attract attention. Bill has part of that going on.

I worked a temp job at Kellogg's - home of the Cheezit! We were upgrading systems and there was a lot of talk about the Cheezit Warehouse because that facility didn't run the same as other manufacturing locations. 😁
Wow! Inside information about the history of Cheez-its!
I just love your channel Rob and I don't know how wild Kyle stays so slender did you bring him like 10 bags of those cheese nips anyway thanks for sharing your day it looked like it was beautiful and sounded like it too
No, he rationed that one bag very well.

Heck yes Rob. I alllllways bring a plastic bag with me for garbage. It is the right thing to do AND in case I accidentally wander onto private property it helps keep everyone happy. Win/win I say!
I haven't had that problem yet, but I have thought about how that would probably calm most people down if they saw I had a bucket full of trash.

Welcome to Michigan (in a month)! Thanks for checking out my channel!
The colour of the sinkhole is beautiful, but I don't think I'd dare to go over it 😯
I still guess wrong when you're picking up a rock
It's quicker to go over than to go around. I'm less creeped out each time.
Some awesome videography in this one!!!! very cool!!!
Excellent as usual. Thanks for posting.
Great trip. Thanks.

Wonderful video. I absolutely agree about visiting beaches and cleaning up as you walk. ✌️👍
I feel like if the beach gives me a few rocks or even just a nice day, the least I can do is say thank you by hauling off a little trash.

Sink holes form in karst topography. The bedrock here is limestone, which erodes leaving voids beneath the ground. When those cave in, you get a sinkhole. Here's a page about some local sinkholes: caves.org/conservancy/mkc/
I don't think that was an artifact. I looked at it for a long time thinking about whether it might be or not. The inside and sides of the "boat" were much rougher than the bottom of the "boat". I'd think if it was a tool of some sort, the inside would be worn smooth. I also couldn't figure out what tool this could possibly be. I could be wrong, of course, since I don't know much at all about Native American artifacts.
All the shots of Kyle munching on the cheezits had me dying. Love your videos!
He has a problem.
I would be nerding out over the fossils too! I’m always jealous of fossils you have.
I kind of take them for granted sometimes. There are just so many that they're not new to me anymore.
Such a gorgeous day on the water! So relaxing to watch, too. I wonder if that canoe-looking rock was some kind of Native American metate? I’m just a newbie to that stuff, but if there was evidence that the dugout part was worked rather than natural, it’s a possibility.
I thought of something like that, but the inside and sides were both much rougher than the outside. ipIf it had been used for grinding, I would expect the inside to be smoother or at least show some wear marks.
@@MichiganRocks Ah ok. Just an interesting geofact, then. 👍
At 9:00 that’s probably calcite. I had a few like that and they were calcite. Vinegar ate them up.
That’s likely since limestone is made of calcite.
You really captured the essence of the wild Kyle! Thanks for the fun!
He's not acting too much.
Love that sink hole it’s amazing. Good to see wild Kyle again!
I love El Cajon Bay for the sink hole, but also just because it's so natural and wild.
@@MichiganRocks me too!
Holy smokes! I missed this one! Great video!
Awesome! 🪨🪨🪨 on 🤘👍
Beautiful vid!
I love watching your videos of this sinkhole, but I would have to say, paddling over it would probably freak me out a little bit. Silly I know..
I felt the same way the first couple times. It doesn't bother me as much now, but I am still a little uncomfortable.
When you said you were going to show Kyle a big rock in the water, I knew exactly which one you meant! Looks like it was a really fun trip together!
I let him film it this time. That rock is incredible.
I would say those pudding stones are fruitcake stones. I like rocks & stones since as a kid. Fun watching, glad your video popped on my feed.
Why did I get a bit teary eyed over that Cheez-It and Mtn Dew moment? lol ...
I'm emotional about one of those too.
Nice puddingstones on this one u guys...eh hem...ROCK
Nice finds and adventure. Very different from Southwest Louisiana
It will be even more different in a few weeks when I'm blowing snow out of the driveway.
Lol I feel You on that, best wishes and God Bless
Puddingstone and petosky stone paradise!
Sure is!
awesome always enjoy some Wild Kyle
Kyle is fun, isn't he?
Rob, you’re messing with my mind ! It’s only Monday. I’ll have to say that is one of the cheesiest videos you have ever put out ! It looks like you guys had a really good time. The sink holes are crazy. I don’t think I’d like to be out on the water when one of those things decided to develop. I’d probably be like being flushed down a giant toilet.
Thanks for cleaning up the environment as you go. The beaches that I’m able to get to are pretty well clean but I always pick up the trash when I’m out metal detecting.
Kyle and I both referred to each other's videos, so we decided to put them up at the same time. This is Kyle's regular time.
@@davidhile5363 Sure. There are two videos that show the earth crack in Bill's yard. One is actually in his yard:

The other was filmed before I knew Bill and is in the land right next to his property:
th-cam.com/video/RO6LNjSinkQ/w-d-xo.html
@@MichiganRocks Interesting geology there for sure. I wonder if the entire area didn’t sink at one time and that is what formed the bay and caused the earth cracks. It would be interesting to have Dr. Nat and Capt. Paul’s take on that.
@@davidhile5363 I think that's a good possibility considering the earth cracks that run parallel to one shore of the bay.
Are petoskey stones and pudding stones only on the shores of Michigan? Can I find them on the North Shore of Lake Superior?
The source of the puddingstones is at the eastern end of Lake Superior, so that's about the only place on the north shore of the lake that you'd find them. I don't think there are any Petoskeys in Lake Superior. They're found south of a line from about Rogers City (on Lake Huron) to Harbor Springs (on Lake Michigan. That's just an approximation, but there is a northern limit.
Did u keep the carved out boat looking rock? Possible indian artifact ..
I did not keep it and I don't think it's an artifact. I stood there on the beach looking at it for a long time trying to decide if it might be an artifact. The inside was much rougher than the outside, which leads me to believe it was broken. If it had been used for grinding something on the inside, I'd expect it to be worn smoother. I could be wrong, but that was my thinking.
If that boat rock would have polished well it would have been nice to hold other rocks in
It wasn't big enough to put very many rocks in, but that would have been kind of cool. Hard to polish the inside of something small like that though.
Only time I've seen someone love cheez its more than me 🙂
Kyle is WILD about Cheez-its!
That big rock with the white lines on that Kyle licked, I was concerned those white lines were bird poop 😂😂😂😂
He didn’t actually lick it because that’s exactly what was running down that rock.
@@MichiganRocks Silly me 🙄😂😂😂😂
Kyle, the Cheez-its guy!
Ain't gonna be long now, ya'll are gonna go world wide....and I can't wait!!
Views have been worldwide since the start. My travels are not going to be worldwide anytime soon, though.
@@MichiganRocks Nope...I just know something is gonna happen and you will go world wide~
Wow what beautiful scenery! I love it! My husband and I would love to take a trip up there to do some Rockhounding . Do you have any places you would suggest we go?? We are coming from Arizona and have never been there and my main reason to go is to rockhound . Would appreciate any info :)
The place in this video is way above average for Lake Huron, probably because it's so hard to get to. You couldn't really go here from a public access point without a kayak.
I'd suggest you head to the U.P. and hunt rocks in Lake Superior. You won't find the same rocks that I found in this video, but there are lots of great rocks there. I just got back from a four day camping trip there just to hunt rocks.
I'd consider going to the Keweenaw Peninsula. There are some good beaches for hunting rocks, but there is also a lot of mining culture from back when that was the biggest copper producing spot in the world. The scenery is beautiful. There are rugged rocky shorelines, great views from places like Brockway Mountain Drive, mine tailings piles like Cliff Mine where you can look for small pieces of copper or chisel chips where old time miners chiseled the copper by hand. There's a great shop called The Jam Pot where Byzantine Catholic monks make and sell jams and bakery items that are amazing. Copper Harbor is an awesome little town at the tip of the peninsula. There's a mineral museum in Houghton that is amazing. My son in law, who is a geologist has been there and to the Smithsonian and said that the museum in Houghton has a better mineral collection. McClain State Park and the Mouth of the Gratiot River are two of my favorite beaches to hunt in that area.
The other spot I like is the eastern U.P. from Grand Marais, Michigan to Whitefish Point. This area is much more remote, but not as beautiful. There are a lot of jack pine forests and plenty of beaches. The roads are almost all dirt and can be pretty rough. This is the area I just got back from. I like the rock hunting better here and I do love the area even though it's not as pretty as the Keweenaw Peninsula. I just love how remote it is. I didn't have cell phone reception for almost the entire time I was there.
We have inland sink holes in lachine , MI. Near sunken lake park about 15 miles or so west of Alpena
Yep, I have done videos at some of them. I really like Mystery Valley.
@@MichiganRocks I drive past there nearly every day. They get a surprising amount of visitors
Just found your channel. Glad I did.
Yeah, where have you been for the past four years?
Hallo my friend👍👍
My replies keep dumping, so maybe not supposed to include an email. Me daughter&family are camping at Pictured Rocks and Munising. We love to hunt your recommendations. Do you have any for that area, especially for yooperlites & agates?
Thanks,
Kelli
It’s illegal to collect rocks in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Park. Anywhere between Grand Marais and Whitefish Point is good for those two rocks.
Thank you.
Looks like an awesome area to explore. Do you know where the closest public access would be, to launch from?
I launched from my friend's house, but there's a nature preserve right next door. To get here, drive past the LaFarge Cement plant (Ford Avenue/Misery Bay Road) about four miles to North Point Road. North Point Road is the first road to the left, do not confuse it with North Point Shores, which is a private road to the right. After turning on to North Point Road, you'll pass a few houses on your right. Just past the last house, look for a gate on your right. Park on the side of the road and walk in. It's about a quarter mile walk (rough guess) to where the trail comes to the water. I have a set of wheels for my kayak and I have dragged it down this road to access the bay. Otherwise, you'd have to kayak a very long ways to get here. I can't think of any other access.
❤💙💜💖 CHEEZZzzeeee IT crackets!
Cracking up at all of the cheez-it shots of Kyle! 🤣
That guy has a problem.
Wooow mantap sekali🙏👍
I didn't waste too much time I made it to the Cheez-Its time to go
Neat video!
Now, you can use what we taught you about rocks to impress all your guests.... ;-)
I'll have to review that video a few times before I impress too many people.
