Looking through my photos from a trip there a few years ago, and I noticed something.
I had these two teenagers in a video I’d recorded exactly 27 minutes earlier - right as they began their ascent up the dune. It took them a half hour to get to where they are in the photo - about 50 feet (~15m) from the top of the dune.
In my first trip to that dune, I also had gone down to the water, while my partner at the time, a yooper who had grown up visiting these areas, stayed at the top. It’s arduous. And it is exhausting.
