Wandering the top of the world...

The feeling of the rainforest in the Port City...
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” --Jawaharial Nehru

So, Muskegon, I tried to do my three-mile run to the beach again today, and I almost made it … and then the woods pulled me in and I ended up on top of the world … Okay, on top of the Port City, sort of, but it felt like the top of the world…

I journeyed through veritable rainforest, prairie, beach, and deciduous forest … weaving in and out of dense tree canopy, through tall grass, into piled sand, through a tree house (!), and along the edge of a soft cliff … Today, my dear Muskegon, is the day I fully discovered the Pere Marquette dunes – the backs, the tops, the crevices … and it was one of those amazing moments (hours) where you wonder how you’ve never been there before … 

So much to see all around you, and then the elevated views of Lake Michigan and the beach ... Check it out below, and then go there in real life, Muskegon. You won’t be disappointed.

See you on top of the world sometime.

A new view of the beloved beach...

Beach in the forest!

Rolling hills...

Tropical Pere Marquette.

The gates to the grassland...

Treehouse in the woods!

Ferns and forest ... ahhh...
