    I loved swimming in lake michigan - fuck hot hot hot fuck fuck hot hot hot hot running over dunes as your heels cooked - then you hit the water fuck cold cold cold cold even in august the fucker is like 49f

    you try to find a sweet spot where the water is warm enough but basically just cook your head and shoulders in the sun while your legs and feet freeze in the water as someone beats their kids and someone else burns meat even though they aren’t supposed to cook on the beach.

    fun times.

    big depends on the “extremely exhausting”, 450 ft isn’t a problem for those used to hilly walks, but big deal for the very old, overweight and/or sick. I would change the “is” with “can be”

      It’s a very steep sand dune though, the tallest in the US in some places.

      Every step up is 1/2 what you are used to, some places more like 1/3-1/4. There’s another sign about rescues costs, and there have been more than a few heart attacks happen there.
