Started the morning with a visit to the Soo Locks. There were no boats going through at that time, so we headed down to the Valley Camp freighter museum, where we got to climb all over an old freighter. Later we stopped back at the locks and watched two boats go through. One was 650 ft. long, and the other was 1000 ft. long. After that slow-motion ballet we headed out of town and drove across the Mackinak bridge and stopped on the southern side to visit the lighthouse there. After that it was on the road again, headed southeast towards the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We stopped at yet another lighthouse along the way as we drove down the coast of Lake Michigan. Arrived in Ludington around 7:00 and had dinner at JBC’s, a local brewhouse. The beer was tasty, the beer cheese soup was average.

Tomorrow: Ferry ride to Manitowoc, Fishing Museum, Wood Type Museum, Nickel Plate Cafe, Home!
