The dunes in Silver Lake State Park in Mears, MI are unstable. They shift so much throughout the year that the sand has swallowed a farm, a forest and several cottages. We talked with a homeowner who is working to push back the dunes.

GUEST:
Alan Arbogast, dunes expert and researcher in the Department of Geography at Michigan State University
 Dan Behm, home owner, and dune enthusiast
