F) 3 Dune Challenge (We first drive to the Nature Center. We go east to Trail 8 and go north. One goes up Mt. Jackson. The trail goes down a little and then up to Mt. Holden. One can see beautiful Lake Michigan. One then goes steeply down and then there are many stairs to go up to the top of Mt. Tom. From there we walk down stairs and a dune to the campground and head east until we are back to the Nature Center We return to the Natur. THIS IS very very roughky 1.5 mile rugged hike with lots of ups and downs.)

These were marine recruits I had the honor of being with, who were hiking at the Indiana Dunes State Park as a little training before taking off to boot camp in San Diego. After getting on top of the Devil’s Slide, the marine sergeants made them do PUSH UPS and jumping jacks all so that we can have FREEDOM!

Remember my goals:
1. GET people out of their toxic drywall boxes
2. TAKE them to see nature
3. TEACH them about nature
4. LOVE and nurture them so they experience and LOVE the nature of nature
5. The last is the most difficult.
Get them to want to PROTECT & PRESERVE nature.
My first HUGE project in environmentalism:
