Ogden Dunes

Went there this past weekend on a whim/drive with Mindy. It was a pleasant surprise amidst all the industrial-looking structures (they didn't just look industrial, it was a freaking steel mill) in the area. But we managed to find this tiny little place right on the water called Ogden Dunes. It's a small, residential community that has a pretty interesting history to it, which I found out about later.

It was very peaceful, it was a nice day out, and it was nice to be on the beach in the middle of winter and have it feel like early fall.

It was so quiet too, all you could hear was the far-off sound of a train horn. It reminded me of Walden Pond.

If you live around here check it out. I can't wait to go back in the summer and take a dip.
