I am very excited about this!!


I am also. I have been one of the people officially advocating for this over the years. Check out my website: https://edwardbyrneindianadunes.com/

This can't be bad for our state our region or for our university! Having that kind of proximity to a national park is another strong selling point that can help attract students.

That is absolutely super. Great memories only 40 minutes from campus (maybe less now): freshman orientation in the dunes, ice flows in January, some pretty memorable evening dates in May.

Be a gentleman and keep the details to yourself.  ::)

Nice work. Over a half century since I've walked it.

I don't care what they say, valpopal is a name I like. For some reason it reminds of the Victory Bell.  ;D

Love the dunes. Sounds like a win for the Region and the University on this one.

Side Note: If you ever want a great twitter follow I'd recommend VU english professor Bryne. He takes beautiful photography of the Dunes. Twitter: @valpopoetry



Thanks for the much appreciated plug!
