Dunes

We visited a few dunes today that we previously visited a few years back. The state had now blocked them from vehicle traffic. I have a few idea's as to why and in reality there is no reason to drive there anyway as they don't go anywhere. Walking it is so much better.

There is a secret dune nearby that you would not know about without looking at aerials. Somewhat tough to get to especially in the summer. A hunter from years ago left this and some of the wood from his stand is in the tree above.
