Riding Day Forty One – August 5 to Ludington, Michigan

We only rode for about 5 miles to ferry in Wisconsin and then from the ferry to the hotel in Michigan. We are in Michigan and about 2/3 through the country.
No Horse on the ferry. There was bingo but I neglected to take any pictures.



My latest camping spot



a WWII submarine at the maritime museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin


Anshe Poale Zedek in Manitowoc, Wisconsin

A coal pile outside the ferry. It’s the last remaining coal fired ferry in the US


Lake Michigan is about 60 miles wide at the ferry point. Land is out of sight for most of the 4 hour ride, so that averages about 15 miles and hour.


Andy works as an “oiler” on the ferry, 4 hours on and 8 hours off and plays a accordian on the die deck during his break, for enjoyment


A sign in the ferry. Most of the retired I know can’t hear



It’s most of us. Getting all of the group together is like herding cats. We were missing Jon and Mike.


Me and Marlene


Another state bites the dust
