The Realm and the Writer

Most people will argue with me when I say that I live in and near one of the most beautiful places in the world, but we all feel that way about the area we were raised. Well, most of us do anyway. It is almost a yearly spring/summer tradition here, in our little tri-county area, to visit the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and climb the dunes.

The dune climb rises over 130ft and continues strait on about 3.5 miles and may take 3-4 hours depending on your condition and the weather. It ends at a rather steep sandy cliff over looking the majestic shores of Lake Michigan. A must for any tourist and local to complete at least once in a lifetime.

Please play along!
