Sleeping Bear Dunes

One of the perks of being a corporate pilot is that you go to some interesting places (you just don't always have time to leave the airport). Today Steve and I flew to Frankford, MI where we would be spending all day waiting for our passengers to finish their business before returning to Detroit. The airport manager was nice enough to hand over the keys to an eighties model Honda Prelude. We drove north to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. Lake Michigan was gorgeous and who knew these amazing sand dunes existed on a Great Lake. The water was so clean and clear (not to mention kind’a cold) and the dunes ranged from normal size to so gigantic you couldn’t believe this large steep hill in front of you was a live moving dune. I can only imagine how beautiful Lake Michigan on the shores of Sleeping Bear Dunes in autumn. Hopefully this will be one of the many beautiful places I go while I am working in Detroit. 24 August 2006
