Mt. Baldy Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore

At the top of the steps on the 'beach' trail

The beach from the bottom of the 'beach' trail

It's hard to tell, but we're at the TOP of Mt.Baldy here.  You can sorta tell in the background how far up we look tho from the trees and Lake Michigan in the background.

 From the area in the above picture there was another trail down to a different beach area.  I was taking the pictures and decided not to dip my toes into the lake...

The downside of going down?  Having to go back UP!  OH.MY.Goodness!  And this shot was  over 1/2way back up.

NESA, Deck and a couple cute girls :)

NESA is National Emergency Services Academy.  It's held at Camp Atterbury each summer, so Christian was down there 2x, and home only for a week between NESA and Encampment.  Fist picture is drop-off day and the rest are graduation.

They are proudly displaying their awards for "Honor Team"!!!!

Thankx sooooooo much to my brother Dan for building our back deck!!!  He build a smaller deck for our front several years ago, but we'd never gotten around to getting a back deck built.  We've only been here for 18y...

Why do kids always suddenly get goofy when they're about have their picture taken? LOL!
