Good trips are always decided impromptu. Too much planning just leads to procrastination and never culminates. This was proved once again today as we had a very enjoyable trip to the Indian Dunes. Albeit a bit cold, it was a bright sunny day. Arnab and I were positive that we must go somewhere. 11am we started planning (that is when we woke up) and by 1 o’ clock four of us (including Bhujo and Swarnava) were off to
Indiana. It was a drive of about an hour through I-90E/US-20. The place was amazing. Being just the beginning of the season, the crowd was thin. We had the beach to ourselves. It was refreshing to watch the waves break on the shore with the
Chicago skyline evident on the horizon. The blend of colors of the water, the sky and the sand-dunes was fabulous. We braved the freezing water to take a quick bath. Though it lasted barely a few minutes as the skin was getting numb (the temperature was in forties), the fun was worth it. Besides, it was impossible to ignore the tempting waves. A walk down the 1.2 mile trail, climbing some sand dunes, cracking a lot of jokes (lame ones too), a fine 14’’ stuffed pizza in Michigan city
and it was a perfect one-day-outing.
Proof that it was a perfect day for outing
Chicago skyline at the horizon
The trail through the green
The Blend of colors - the camera (or the owner) wasn't good enough to capture the real beauty though
The wooden trail through sand
We go off-route and up on a sand hill
The Nature again
