Laughing White Fish Falls

11/1/2020

Sundell, MI

Is this the name of a park? Or the name of a click-bait article? Did the fish fall because it was laughing too hard? Did the laughter distract it? Falls…to it’s death? Or is it okay? We may never know.

We stop at the falls in near blizzard conditions. A solace from the slippery roads, not that the trail is much better. I struggle to keep my feet beneath me on the short trail to the falls. The snow bunny tugging at the other end of the leash is not helping. At least he’s having a good time.

The falls are roaring. Perhaps with laughter? A quick steep drops gives way to what I imagine is an incredibly fun water slide in the warmer months.

Gob and I take to the observation deck with great caution. By that I mean that Gob bounds ahead with no caution, while I check each step for ice before committing. I will not become the falling white fish to be laughed at.

We make it back to the car without incident. Just barely. Looks like I got the last laugh.
