Car keys found on the top of Mt. Baldhead, Saugatuck, Mich

 

 

 

Brent, Maria and son Chase were on a short vacation from Indiana with friends.  They took a hike up to the summit of Mt. Baldhead, and afterwards Maria discovered her car keys missing-the only keys they had for their car.  They had been in her backpack at the start of the hike, but going down the other side of the dune she had fallen, and assumed that is where she lost the keys.

The easy part of this hunt was actually finding the keys.  Getting to the spot where Maria fell was another matter entirely!  We climbed the 302 steps to the top of Mt. Baldhead, then hiked down the other side of the dune in soft, loose sand for about 60 yards to get to the spot where she had fallen.  Scanning the area I got a faint signal–and there were her keys.

As you can see, the trail behind Maria is pretty steep and we had to go back up that way and then down the 302 steps back to the cars.  It was a hot and humid day, but Maria still had a smile on her face.
