Portage, IN. Indiana Dunes National Park.

I stopped in Portage, IN after driving for 11 hours or so, covering 850ish miles. I didn't think there would be much of anything around the area. Not that I planned on doing shit anyways, I wanted to eat, shower, beer and bed. I found the Indiana Dunes National Park on the map. I knew it would be cool to watch the sunrise over Lake Michigan at the park. So I got up at 5am go for a run along the beach and to catch the sunrise. I knew this would be the only time I'd ever be here. The run turned into a sand dune climbing fest. But it was pretty cool. There were these small trail systems on top of the dunes that connected to other trails into the woods. So you have this massive inland body of water, these ginormous sand dunes rising off the beach and a wooded area behind the dunes, It's Not something you see evryday.  Below are some flickers and a short video.
