Shoreline residents in the Manistee area and elsewhere on the Lake Michigan coast have watched the waters of the lake slowly inch upward for the past three years. Docks went first, then cottages tumbled into the water. Some have tried various erosion controls -- pilings, breakwalls, rockpiles -- but the inexorable advance of the waters prevailed, as the photos left, right, and below [this photo] clearly show. The pilings, right, have helped some, but the water is coming around the ends. A recent storm pulled the footings out from under a number of trees, below right [this photo].
