Glacial Landscapes Travelogue - Benjamin

Sunday, April 29, 2012

 There are many sand dunes near the lake but did you know there is also quite a few in the glacial outwash plain.
These two photos show a dune on the south side of Rt. 10. which seems kind of out of place in such a flat area.  However the sandy hilly nature of this dune may be the only reason it has not been leveled and turned into farm fields yet.
