It is a great pleasure to write for a group of nature lovers 

 about so wonderful a place as the Dunes. Extending from Millers, 

 Indiana, to Michigan City, is a region so fascinating, so full 

 of nature's richest gifts that after the first visit one seems im- 

 pelled, as if by some mystic force to return to it again and again. 

 It has been said *'A prophet is not without honor save in his own 

 country." This is just as true of a great scenic wonder as it is 

 of an individual. How many people there are who live within 

 an hour's ride of the Dunes and know nothing of its wonders, 

 who have never seen a "Blowout", have never climbed "Bald 

 Knob" or "Mt. Tom," have never followed the trails which lead 

 through the dells, the glades and along the quiet pools with their 

 interesting plant life. Various outdoor clubs have done much 

 toward bringing Duneland into its own, introducing its beauties 

 to many people. Not the least of these is the Chicago Nature
