Camping at the dunes was a very good thing- hardwood forest surrounds the area and miles upon miles of nature trails weave through it. We followed those trails, found and climbed a giant dune... just to run down it.
The beach was decent- nice drop off at the shore. I like a body of water that forces you into it. Good for water-frisbee.
Note: bad drainage during storms. A lot of the roads grow mud puddles and pot holes. another negative- no alcohol allowed in the summer (but in fall it's just fine). It may cut down on the crazy kids, but it also interferes with some of my favorite beverage choices.

There is actually someone standing there, at the top.

One of the last things we did was night hiking.
Frowned upon by the posted signs, we took it upon ourselves to cover miles of winding trail at night, ending at the beach just in time to gawk at the stars and watch a thunderstorm start to saunter cross Lake Michigan. We decided not to stay for its arrival, but the light show was decent and the cool sand on our feet was worth every single stub-toed stumble across roots for the hour of blind trailing we foolishly undertook to get there.
No pictures of that- and my camera broke on this trip, so photos after this event are decidedly sketchy.
Until next time.
