Day
63 - Manitowoc, WI to Ludington, MI - 3
miles .......... 2684
total miles
We enjoyed the morning walking around Manitowoc before our 2 pm departure
on the Badger, the only coal fired steamship in North America. The Badger
is a huge car ferry that started operating across Lake Michigan in 1953. It's
a 4 hour ride, 60 mile trip across the lake to Ludington. We met several groups
of cyclists on board, a couple from Michigan, a dad and daughter traveling
cross country from Washington to Maine and the 2 guys we met in Little Falls,
Minnesota. We have a hotel reservation in Ludington tonight, a new state for
us! A great day celebrating Linda's 60th birthday!
