Made it to Ludington, Michigan today. Disconnected the camper, then went into town and visited the many shops. Also had dinner at a local diner called "House of Flavors". The diner is an extension of a dairy and offers many delicious ice cream treats. Yum Tomorrow is the day we load the camper on the S.S. Badger car ferry and cross Lake Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. It is the largest car ferry ever to sail Lake Michigan, and has provides a shortcut across the huge lake. It is the only coal-fired steamship in operation in the United States. The 410' S.S. Badger entered service in 1953. There are outside decks for walking or lounging, free movies and satellite TV, live entertainment, two restaurants, full cocktail service, shopping and staterooms for relaxing or sleeping during the cruise. Activities for kids include a video arcade, coloring contests, and kids' playroom.
