Waukegan North Beach
Had another beautiful morning at the north end of Waukegan's North Beach on Saturday. It wasn't as hot as Sunday or the next few days, but that meant the water temp was close to the air temp, making it quite pleasant.
As I've mentioned before, the north end has no enforcement -- it's not part of the municipal beach, it's the former power plant property (not the Zion nuclear plant, it's the older one that's due for some coal ash pond remediation), but not really accessible from there, only from the beach to the south, or by boat.
I was the only person out there until 10:30, when 3 boats full of people showed up (and one of them went and fetched two more loads of people). They kept to their part of the beach, I kept to mine, but it cut down on skinny dipping.
Note that there is a $20 (!!!) fee for parking on weekends after 10AM. Get there early, or on a weekday, and it's free.
Usually I see the same 2-4 guys there. The vibe is friendly but not (ahem) intimate, which is a good thing. Who'll join me?
Waukegan continues to be a joy this warm September. Very few people on the beach on a weekday, such that there was one nude guy hanging out with a swimsuit-clad woman a lot further south than usual. A woman jogger ran all the way up to the North end, waving "hi" at the few nude guys.
Come on out, the water is warm.
