Wow. I grew up in Upper Michigan across the street from Lake Michigan. I don't remember how old I was but I never remember my parents actually taking me to the beach. As soon as the training wheels were off my bike me and my pack of little friends were about living at the lake, unsupervised, all summer. I had to be home for supper and that was about the only rule. The 70s were a great time to grow up, before everybody got so paranoid.
I went to school up in Great Lakes during my Navy days, and all I know as hot as it was in July, Aug, I jumped into Lake Michigan and was walking across the water like Jesus! Damn that water was cold!
