There's a ton of people out at the dunes right now enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday. I myself don't usually go out on big weekends. It usually means amateur night (i.e. lots of drunks out driving and riding and being quite frankly stupid), and I'd rather not be out with a bunch of amateurs.

If you are out there in the dunes, and you're NOT an amateur, congrats, have fun and BE CAREFUL.

The important thing about this holiday is to be thankful for what we've got. Those of us that have families are probably most thankful for them. For others, perhaps your health, your spirit or anything else. Just be thankful.
