    Comment on the Scotch Guard Thread ... yes, I do guard my scotch (but anyone is welcome to some if they like).
    I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.

    Looks like it is near a beach. More like Atlantic coast than MI.

    This is from the top and I don't recall if just before going down the dune, or a week later. In any case, overlooking Lake Michigan. Approximately towards Chicago.

    Nope - size 11 Merrells, and gaiters are a MUST for the sand!

    Unless you want sandy shoes. Growing up in south Florida our annual celebration was the Sandy Shoes Festival.
    Motto was something like once you get the sand in shoes you will never want to go back (during the exponential growth of the 60s and 70s).

    Well, not wanting to slur the Floridians, but to me, significant sand in the shoe hurts just as much as a good snowball building up under your crampons. Feels like you strapped a rock to the bottom of your foot. I'll stick with my gaiters....

    I think they were more focused on people walking at the beach than hikers.

    Thanks for all the cool posts
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
