Remark: Sand dunes are found along the east
shore of Lake Michigan. The theory is that these dunes trace their history back
to the glacial period and were forced up by the action of the ice. The peculiar
beauty of these dunes is in itself a great asset, to say nothing of the
protection which they afford from the winds that blow off Lake Michigan during
the winter months.
