I began heading south along the lake and eventually found myself at a breakwall next to the boat launch and marina. Waves were racing down the breakwall and crashing into rocks where the wall began. Two men were surfing.

Once I made it down the stairs I walked a couple hundred yards north along the beach and found a small point where the beach ended and the waves lapped over large flat rocks.

Inspired by the water tower I decided to head to the lakefront to record water sounds. I made my way across Lincoln via a foot bridge that led me to the second story of a building on the beach. As I was about to descend the stairs I noticed a water fountain that was running on its own.

Found myself alone on a small trail surrounded by trees just north of the water tower. The trail was steep and winding as it headed toward Lincoln Memorial Dr and the lakefront. A single bird could be heard chirping for a mate, but he was probably upset when the only answer he received came from a dog.

Started walking and came across an old building on a very small patch of land surrounded by traffic. A sign in front of the building said that in 1871 the state of Wisconsin allowed Milwaukee to start a public water system.
