Autumn in the Dunes

Take a good look.

This would be bulldozed to make way for the 18th tee on the proposed Jack Nicklaus signature golf course on Lake Michigan.

I was taking a break from shuffling boxes and furniture this afternoon and decided to walk the beach. The morning was very gray, windy and wild, but the sun reappeared, and it was a glorious afternoon. I climbed a short dune to the left of this walkway, and what should I find hidden but a neon orange marker with "18th Tee" on it.

The fools are going to level the dunes!! I took a lot of pictures, and I am going to try to meet with the person who is in charge of the save the park initiative before I depart this shore for the opposite one.
