Sleeping Bear Dunes

Way back in August of 2011, Good Morning America viewers voted the Sleeping Bear Dunes as the most beautiful place in America.  I was going to link you to it but they force you to watch a stupid ad. Consider yourself warned:  GMA SBD

It's funny how when you grow up near landmarks, they feel like "normal" sights rather than "tourist destinations."

Climbing dunes and hiking to Lake Michigan was something I did frequently growing up.

Going back as an adult left me with a different perspective.

A blue moon rising over the waters of Lake Michigan was just icing on the cake.

As always, good friends make everything 10x better.

Even better is when those same good friends know of lookout points that GMA must not have covered in their segment.

I wonder if all these outsiders know how to look for Petoskey stones?

Sleeping Bear Dunes.  Hit it up if you're in the area - you won't regret it.
