you're doing, but we have dune scooters up here at Silver Lake. Teachers off for the summer take about 20 people at a time in these things and run around in the woods, dunes and Lake Michigan for tours about flora, fauna, and history of the area (Al Capone had a vacation hideaway up here at nearby Stony Lake). It's a total blast and educational, to boot. I take all visitors who stay over at my house on these rides.
I'm sure you'll make a ton of friends and just enjoy being outdoors. In all that beauty, kind of a glam job, if you ask me.
