Finally - some steps to the lake

The people who owned the cottage before us must have been part billy goat. The lot is steep from the cottage to the water (there are stairs) but the path from the lower deck to the water was a small cliff with a couple pieces of wood to hold dirt stairs and a big root across the middle. Once you figured out the way down and what foot to start on it was pretty easy but guests, not having the luxury of practicing every weekend, didn't much care for it.

We had been setting aside larger rocks suitable for steps for a while and when the ladies went of to Westport I convinced by buddy Al to lend a hand. Didn't take too long at all and in the end we wound up with a natural looking but obvious way down to the water. Just a few steps but what a difference it makes.
