Who says that sand cannot be the trail?
It's not just for digging or filling a pail.
Follow blue blazes up over 9 hills
Under the foot--over boots as it spills.
At the end of the trail, if hot you can swim
So don't get discouraged, leave the trail on a whim.
The reward is The Lake, of a clear azure blue
Hear the waves on the beach?--you know you are through!
Great time in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Took a 5 mile round trip hike over dunes, with the first one being about 400 feet high. I have never seen such high dunes; see the tiny people walking on it in my last picture? The small town of Glen Arbor was quaint, with interesting shops, which I explored. Lake Michigan is really beautiful in color. The water is warm and all the Lakes are so clean. I highly recommend this area to families--a lot to do here, and it is very biker-friendly. We biked for about 18 miles one day, over to the next town of Empire. Now, we are about to cross into Ohio, and The Great Lake of Erie. Continuing on Eastward.....

Pretty pictures Dee! This reminds me of right here in North Carolina... The Outer Banks to be exact. If you drive along the shoreline from the North and reach Kitty Hawk, your at Jockey's Ridge State Park! It is there where you'll find the largest and tallest dunes on the eastern coast!! The boys loved going there, they would roll all way down those big dunes and fly kites. The best hang gliding too.. This is where Orville and Wilbur Wright began their quest into making aviation history!
