I'm working on another post that is related to wetlands and I was shocked during my research! That's coming up in a couple weeks. These places are my saving grace. I'm so glad that they've preserved them from people who would want to destroy it. These Dunes are now extremely protected from many organizations from around the world. And that makes me smile.Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-21238436630738406462012-07-17T23:10:22.646-07:002012-07-17T23:10:22.646-07:00They're tricky!!

Hope you are having a good week Gaelyn. I need to make some money to travel north. I'm on a strict budget now for the next 2 weeks until school starts up again. I'm hoping we get to make it to the North Rim this fall. I'd love to visit with you. Talk to you soon.
