This photograph was taken along the shores of Lake Superior, near Grand Marias, Michigan. In the late 1800's, early 1900's, during the logging boom in Michigan, loggers pushed logs down the 500 foot high, steep sand dunes to the water (using gravity of course), where they were transferred to waiting ships for movement to saw mills, etc. Today, tourists slide down the dunes, and then must make a rough climb back up with VERY loose sand underfoot. Many have become stranded as a result, so there are warning signs posted all over stating to BEWARE. In my younger days, I'd have given it a shot. Today, my camera did all the work.
