Saw this cat when we were leaving our after-run break. Not sure what it is. Anyone???

It looks better than my pic by far. We were risking our lives with Brooks distracting our golf cart people hauler along the edge of a sheer dropoff into the rocks and water!!!!!!

I barely got a couple shots off....


It has a faux (I assume) wood deck and one heck of a beam width.....
 
About those rock houses in Charlevoix, they're proud of them.

Earl Young Homes
Some call them "Fairy Houses" because they possess storybook whimsy; others call them "Mushroom Houses" because of their irregular shapes. By any name, the stone houses of Charlevoix are an amazing legacy to one of Michigan's most fascinating builders. Born in 1889, Earl Young grew up in Charlevoix, walking the shorelines collecting interesting rocks -- a pastime that grew into a passion. A visionary, who would make sketches and then often have his wife follow with precision drawings from which the houses were built. The construction of the buildings, utilizing the boulders left behind by the great glacier, are a unique architectural accomplishment.
 
Cool tidbit about the houses...I never knew:)

The "wood" cat wasn't anything from VanDam up there was it???
