Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore


The last day of summer 2008 was spent with family along the shore of Lake Michigan. I think we visited these beaches once or twice every weekend since April! Temperatures in the high 70s, and no crowds- a perfect Sunday to hunt for crinoid stems and other 200 million year old fossils. We generally get a large hand full each week if the surf is calm enough to wash the sand off of the pebbles along the shore.

We'll still visit each weekend until late November, then the holidays keep us busy until February when we'll start again. Last year at the beach
