Visiting Warren Woods - er, Dunes State Park

Hey everyone! Being the weekend and I still the proud new owner of a Michigan State Parks Recreation Passport, I thought it would be fun to go spend a couple of hours in another state park. Today's forecast was to be all rainy and snowy, but just cloudy conditions resulted...and while not like great weather to watch a sunset in, it would be great to go hiking in. So, I decided to go to the last of Berrien County's three state parks that I had actually not yet visited: Warren Woods, which is actually just a couple miles east of Warren Dunes (see my last post). You know the saying that goes "the best laid plans of mice and men"?? Well...today was a prime example of that. I spent a blissful half hour driving out in the middle of beautiful Michigan farm country, with wide open spaces, neatly cut corn fields on rolling hills, and red barns everywhere...only to discover, as I came at the park from the east, that the road it was on was closed, due to all the flooding

Hey everyone! So I go to school in Michigan now! I completely forgot about this blog for many, many moons...and while I have shot some incredible video in the past year , still I have started to wish there was a way that I could share my adventures sometimes through just pictures and words. Thought about starting a blog for just that reason, then super excitedly realized I already had like a year ago!! So...no promises, but hopefully this year I will post a bit more ;) A few weeks ago I bought an annual pass to Michigan's state parks, and last Thursday it finally came :D So today I super excitedly set out for Warren Dunes State Park, my first state park visited under the new pass. I had visited the place last fall with my grandparents, and liked how close the parking lot was to the beach and Lake Michigan itself. I figured that with my poor balance and all the snow, this would be a pretty good option for sunset photography. So, back in the summer version of Michigan, Warren Du
