Heh. I can't believe I'm posting something from ABC News. They may not have gotten this right, the other areas are beautiful as well; it is for certain this area of the country is drop dead gorgeous, go to the link for pics.

Most Beautiful? I have nothing against the Great Lakes but looking at those photos not sure that’s the location I’d pick. I like the name, though.

America is loaded with beautiful places.

Big Sur, the Maine Coast, the Grand Tetons...so much to see here.

Most beautiful? Hmmmmm... that’s an impossible thing to judge. Certainly a topic for harmless conversation.

I’ve been their, it’s gorgeous, and not far from the UP. I love northern Michigan. (Am I, as an Ohioan, allowed to say that?)

I don’t know about all that. I like the view out my office window here in Texas. I can see a highway, some other office buildings, some dead grass, some trees, a few longhorns, etc.

It may not be an idyllic scene, but I know that everyone down there is free. I can’t say so much for people in Michigan.

Beautiful pictures.

I grew up on the north end of a sand bottom lake called Crooked Lake (Calusa - Indian Name) located in a sleepy town called Babson Park in Central Florida. The area is named the “Ridge” because of the high elevation. Bok Singing Tower is five miles North. This lake is over 100 miles around the shoreline. My house faced East on the coveted North end and the sunrises were magnificent. When your home is on a hill looking out over that huge lake, you feel like you’re in paradise because you have a birds eye view, not at all what is usually seen in areas of the rest of the State. Lots of great fishing too! Bald Eagles everywhere. Oh, and no snow.

Thanks for posting and bringing back some wonderful memories.

Had a great visit to the dunes in the summer of ‘63.

Re: the videos of the ten places. When will the TV folks quit placing those infernal crawls across the bottom of the viewing screen? They always block part of the scene and in many instances, the most important part of what is being shown. But, it is all about them, isn’t it.

Lots of beautiful places in Michigan.

If I die tonight, I hope I wake up in Grand Marais Michigan.

Personally I’d vote for another Michigan locale (Isle Royale), but the Dunes are certainly a great candidate. Enjoy!

It truly is, and should be experienced in all 4 seasons.

Sure is a beautiful place. Though it doesn't have a lot of beach area to go swimming from.

An aside: The wiki pics are pretty good too, considering the camera used. Talk about 'early digital'. This is why I stuck with my Nikon FE and 35mm film back then. Digital sensors couldn't match the grain quality of film (aka: Noise)


Olympus c2100uz
This looks like a digital version of an Olympus 35mm film camera I got for the wife to use back then.

I'm sure glad we didn't make the list. Flipping tree huggers can stay away from God's country.
