Warren Dunes, Muskegon, and Misc.

It has been awhile since I blogged.  To be honest, I was having quite a bit of trouble bending my arms and legs.  So I called my friend, Dr. MATTel.  He used to work for a toy company in California.  Now he lives in Florida.  He drove up in his camper and helped me out.  I feel like a new person!  

This is Dr. MATTel with his wife Mary at Warren Dunes State Park

So this blog is short because I only spent one night at each of the parks and I wasn't feeling great yet.  I'll just cover some highlights.

Warren Dunes State Park

Best things about this park:  
Tons of big sand dunes.  
Pretty beach, 2 miles long.  Lots of sand.  

Super cool Round Barn Winery close by.  

Worst things about this park:
From the campground you have no idea you are camping near a lake, or even that there is sand anywhere nearby.  
The bathrooms were crowded and smelly, I had to wait in line just to use the toilet in the campground.  
The beach is quite a distance from the campground and the only way to bike to the beach is to ride on the road. There are no bike paths!  This park has over a million visitors annually as such it is one of Michigan's busiest parks. It feels quite treacherous biking with heavy traffic on the road.  

Muskegon State Park

Best things about this park:
Nice beach that is accessible from the campground.  

Shady sites in some big trees.

Cute ice cream shop right at the edge of the park with a trail through the fence.  



Worst things about this park:
I ate too much.  

The Apex:
After driving up the coastline of Lake Michigan, we ended up at Sleeping Bear Dunes.  A MUST see for anybody who loves sand or Lake Michigan or experiencing God's beautiful and amazing creations.  

See how tiny those crazy people are?  

It's 450 feet down an extremely steep sand slope.
