Dunes!

[osprey_archer]

I went to the Indiana Dunes today! It was glorious and delightful and we had a picnic (the seagulls looked on menacingly, but we did not share our smoked salmon sandwiches) and hiked up a Dune and along the beach and I forgot to wear sunscreen, so now my arms are crab claw crimson.

Well, not quite that sunburnt, but nonetheless. Just try saying crab claw crimson three times fast.

It is going to be a busy week! I may not have time to post again for a bit.

What are the Dunes? Where are the Dunes? Beach??? Wherever you are/were--it sounds great.

Gotta upload more icons here. No seagull icon either -_-

The Dunes are a stretch of beach up along the shore of Lake Michigan - Indiana just touches it in the northwest corner. The dunes themselves are great big hills of sand, very hot to climb at this time of year but fun to run down.

I was going to send you a postcard, but the place seems disgracefully uncommercialized and I couldn't find any to buy.

How wonderful--if disappointing from a postcard perspective--that the place is so untrammeled!

I would be tempted to take a plastic toboggan and slide down them.

I had no idea Indiana had dunes! :D I've only experienced actual sand dunes once in my life, but it was very awesome and I hope to do so again someday. ...Maybe the ones in Indiana!

It does! Right up at the northwest corner, by Lake Michigan. They are extremely nice for beach-walking.
