Kelli and I left the house this morning and headed over to the big lake and found her acting up a little...
Ludington Pierhead Light
Then we hiked about 2 miles up the beach to the Big Sable Point Lighthouse
Summer has officially fled the scene....

I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!
Here's some of the history on Big Sable...
I've been across on the S.S. Badger, a car ferry out of Ludington MI to Manitowoc WI..
.I've also done a big chunk of the Lake Michigan coastline in a kayak....
Which Walmart were you in?
Cool pics btw. I enjoy looking at lighthouses because of what they signify ( Spending a lot of time on the water has that effect on some people, Mark is the same)
Wrong Lake...She went down in Lake Superior off Whitefish Point. One the other hand there a 48 wrecks off Big Sable Point..so plenty of ghosts wandering around there as well...
Apparently there were some "educators" in Utah that heard about whale-watching in the Great Lakes (from a farcical website) ...took it to heart and started teaching their students about the whale populations in Lake Michigan...and continued even after they were notified they had been duped...

That song resonates with anyone who has ever spent much time at all on the water...

My Uncle was reporting live on the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, he was working in Duluth at a TV station and spoke with the captain of the Arthur M. Anderson by radio phone, the captain was the last person to se the Edmund Fitzgerald before it sank, my uncle died Sunday.
May he RIP :angel2: :angel2:

Yep...Up to the Straits of Mackinac into Lake Huron, then downbound to Lake Erie and Lake Ontario to the St. Lawrence Seaway...
This is how we got several invasive species in the Lakes - Blue Water ships pumping their ballast into the lakes...
Interesting fact, sometimes blue water sailors get seasick on the Great Lakes....
May he Rest in Peace.
We had a friend who, when he was young "borrowed" his Dad's boat and set out on a cruise on Lake Michigan. Got lost and ran the boat out of gas. He was adrift out there for quite a spell and was rescued by the Edmund Fitzgerald that was upbound from Chicago to Duluth...
My wifes family has quite a connection with the Lakes. Before there was a bridge across the Straits, Kelli's Grandfather was Chief Cook on the Chief Wawatam...a rail car ferry that moved rail cars from the Lower to the Upper Peninsula and back again... Her Great Grandfather was a Boatwright who built sailing ships...
Our deepest condolences on the passing of your uncle. May he rest in sweet peace.
I was speeding in the parking lot when a Green peace zodiac cut me off.
