Almost to the Top

The boys helped each other climb to the top of Mt. Baldy, the 120 foot tall sand dune in Michigan City, Indiana. It's a lot more difficult than you think, the steep angle, and loose sand keep you from making quick progress - you slide back a step for every few you take.

Climbing Above the Treetops
You get a great view of Lake MIchigan, and the woods from the top. This dune is living, so it's moving about 4 feet a year and burying the woods. Some of the trees are beginning to show stress by yellowing so early in the year.
