Just a sliver of the sandbar is out at the right.



THE SANDBAR
Normally covered by high water in the spring, the sandbar would gradually emerge throughout the summer.

The trees in the center of the photograph mark the location of the first cottage.
The cottage faced the main lake which can be glimpsed beyond the sandbar.
