Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive in the Sleeping Bear Dunes


[As a reminder, these videos belong to someone else.  I will tell you if and when I post one of mine.]

We were getting a bit tired in the latter part of the day's explorations of the Leelanau Peninsula (along the Lake Michigan Coast, northwest of Grand Traverse Bay).  (It feels a bit weird to say "Lake Michigan Coast".)  Anyway, I regret not getting as many photos as I should have.

It is fascinating how many different Ecosystems (and Sub-Ecosystems) are "built upon the foundation" of these huge sand dunes.  Pierce Stocking Drive is a good place to see at least parts of some of these local Ecosystems.
