Here is another photo of a run-off gully on the SW corner. Hard to believe this gully was once a road we could drive down to the water.
I've always been afraid of that road giving out going around that corner. Especially in the spring in heavy rain.

I know one of the houses up there had finally gotten a permit to build a deck and then his back yard fell off the bluffs.
