Bill,

Solid work , as usual, thank you.

Having been to the said “dunes” but never attempted the summit. I applaud your effort, ages ago as it was.

My parents took vacations there, albums of Polaroid 3X5’s to prove it, well before children, hence no camp stories.

A recent read provided the following article …. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12361569/Video-shows-masses-beachgoers-trying-failing-climb-notoriously-tricky-Michigan-sand-dunes-rescues-3K.html … does this sound familiar?

BTW when is the monkey issue?

Thanks for bringing back painful memories - it was truly a death march. As for the monkey piece, Matt Damon, er M Pierce, you’ll be happy to know that our research team is completing their work, and (checks notes), the likely award-winning column is scheduled for publication this fall - I’m sure you’ll agree that it will have been worth the wait - thanks for your loyal readership.
