Pierce Stocking was the name of an early 20th century lumberman who was eager to have others share his appreciation for the grandeur of the Sleeping Bear Dunes. So, he built this bicycle-friendly 7ish mile loop road that skirted the edges of the dunes. There were many places to stop and 'be at one' with the dramatic vistas. 
Lake and Dune advance and retreat as if in an ancient Tango competition, accompanied by the undulating ryhthms of the wind .
We were treated to the kind of sky/sun/cloud dance that Hollywood can only dream of duplicating on a movie screen. Lake Michigan shimmered, lustrous under sinewey layers of clouds and a bleached lemon sun.
