Fall Color Drive and HIke from Sable Lake to the Log Slide and into Grand Sable Dunes

Thanks to my son, Kevin, for helping me to move my cord wood into the wood shed.  Although heating with wood is cheaper than other possible heat sources -- it is a lot of work.  I finished up the last cord or so after he had to leave.

Just after Kevin left to drive home he called to let me know that the fall colors were peak on the drive between Sable Lake and the Log Slide area in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.  After I finished moving and stacking the rest of the wood, I drove to the Log Slide area and then hiked into the dunes.  You are invited to go along with the photos below.

There were lots of people in the main Log Slide area so I headed east into the dunes...
