We’re constantly amazed at how diverse our country is. While staying at a campground in Indiana, we came across huge sand dunes next to Lake Michigan. Not only is the sand burning hot, it’s almost impossible to walk up the sand mountains, (ok, sand dunes) especially in the humid weather. We pretended we were crossing the Sahara desert and took a long hike. Coming back, we both had all the classic signs of heat exhaustion. So my word of advice is: Don’t climb sand dunes at noon when the temperature is 95 degrees with 89% humidity.
