Crossing Lake Michigan On The S.S. Badger
Thursday we crossed Lake Michigan from Manitowoc, WI to Ludington, MI on a car ferry called the S.S. Badger. We are going to our nephew, Matt's wedding in Manistee, MI on Saturday & decided to go a couple of days early so we could take in some sights.
The lighthouse in the Manitowoc harbor.
Our truck being driven onto the ferry.
Our truck is parked somewhere up on that shelf.
This over-sized load was one of the things parked on the ferry to go across the lake............along with 25-30 cars & trucks, 2 motorcycles, a pickup truck with two ATV's on a trailer, 3 campers, a motorhome, a tour bus and 3 semi-trucks! It was amazing as we kept watching them load vehicles on the boat..........we couldn't believe how much fit in that boat!
Todd on the back of the boat watching stuff being loaded.
Todd & me eating lunch on the ferry. This is the deck where they used to park cars & train cars used to be parked below where they park everything now.
Sonja on the ship..........it was getting pretty windy. One of the lifeboats is up above.
Todd on a bench on the front deck of the ship. The front deck was extremely windy.
Coming into the harbor at Ludington, MI.
This is the Coast Guard station where our nephew, Matt, is stationed in Ludington.
