I grew up spending weeks of my summer climbing Lake Michigan sand dunes. Last summer I accepted the challenge, shortly after my 59th birthday of dunes climbing once again. With my Montana grown son-in-law, who is seeing such a sight for the first time, I huffed and puffed to the top. Actually I felt pretty good, I regularly hike and bike, but my joints did register quit a protest. A satisfying personal victory.
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Victory.”

A victory climb, indeed! Great job, congrats 🙂
Thank you! It’s nice to know you can still do it. 🙂
Such a glorious place. I did the climb several years ago – no small feat!!
Worth the view and the time shared. I did decide it was not a good idea not to run back down 🙂
Well done! Hope you didn’t chew too much sand on the up and down!! 😉
Great place! I went as a kid. There are incredible to see.
There’s nothing harder to climb than a sand dune like that, you slip back almost as far as your step each and every step.
For sure! But the view out over the lake and into and over the dunes are a treat.
