It's the end of the season at the dunes and Dan the Shaved Ice Man is closing down, The State of Michigan dragged its feet so there was no soda, ice cream or hot dogs at the Dunes until the end of the July 4 weekend, A lot of visitors didn't know this because there was no signage.
So, on Memorial Day weekend and beyond visitors would drive in only to find the kiosk demolished. Then they would have to drive into the camping area or drive out of the park to get ice, etc. The confusion was obvious and there wasn't even signage to tell visitors. Just the fee collectors.
Hopefully Dan will be back next year. We walk in most of the time and carry our refreshments with us. But Dan's shady spot with refreshing ice is appreciated by quite a few.
