Site Notes…
Lake Harbor Park is located where the Mona Lake Channel flows into Lake Michigan. There is a network of hiking trails through several acres of wooded land and a boardwalk that runs along the dunes at Lake Michigan. During the summer, the beach is a favorite spot to enjoy Lake Michigan; in the winter, the large sand dunes provide excellent sledding hills.
Series Notes…
This box is the first in the 4-box Sandy Seasons series. The boxes in this series are linear (more or less), and are intended to be found in succession, as the clues are given from one box to the next. The entire loop is about 2.5 miles and makes for a wonderful afternoon hike. There is a large sand hill at the beginning and several moderate, steep hills en route. If you are coming during the summer, wear your swimsuit under your clothes and enjoy a swim in Lake Michigan when you are through with the boxes.

Sandy Seasons: Autumn (4)
Clues…
From the NW corner of the parking lot, follow the trail at 290 degrees across the flat grassy area and up the huge sand dune. At the top of the hill there will be an octopus of dead trees on your right and a 6 ft. dead stump on your left.
After catching your breath, proceed 50 paces westward along the trail from the dead stump at the top of the hill to the place where a tree stands on its tiptoes along the left side of the trail. At 335 degrees, a small stump marks a treasure, but it is not yours! From this stump, site 35 degrees to the place where fallen trees intersect — here lies the true prize.
