The Extraordinary Experience of Dune Crossing October 16th, 2008
I did a double take as I approached this sign while walking from the beach this summer. Nomenclature like this may make sense in the context of the beach but without the other points of reference, i.e. the path leading up and over the sand dune, the sign taken out of context, say placed on a highway intersection, may be misinterpreted by many people and cause unnecessary alarm by others. I took a glance to my left and right just to make sure I wouldn’t get squashed by a runaway dune.
