SLEEPING BEAR NATIONAL PARK - DUNE CLIMB

Having a some lunch before going to the Dunes.
First, stopping by a Life Saving Museum along the way.
Here some audience "volunteers" were recruited. This group is getting ready to rescue the other group who are stranded. An excellent reenactment of early rescue methods. Surprising anyone lived!
This is a very early rescue boat that was used. It took courageous rescue workers to go out on the treacherous stormy lake waters.

Walter and Del at the beach on the museum property.
These folks were taking a break to enjoy the beach and water.


At the Dunes, Del watches us as we begin our trek up the dune.



Are we there yet?
We are almost there--huffing and puffing.

Finally, we did it - we did it.
The reward; this beautiful view.

One of many farms in this area of Michigan.
