We had to walke 1.8 miles to get to the lighthouse. We had a wheelchair that we borrowed from Todd's co-worker, but the park ranger told us that it would be too hard to use it on the gravel road covered with sand. Todd's knees did pretty well on the walk up to the lighthouse, but after the walk up & down the 130 steps of the lighthouse, he had a harder time walking back to the car. But the lighthouse was so cool & the view so beautiful, Todd said it was worth it.

We took pictures out of the port-hole windows going up the stairs of the lighthouse. The foghorn house, sand & Lake Michigan. 
The roof of the house portion of the lighthouse........a bird is under the eaves of the roof for shelter from the cold wind.

I found a rock & threw it into the lake, but I wasn't paying attention & that wave rolled up & got me! :)
After our day at the lighthouse, we decided to go to the harbor in Ludington to watch the S.S. Badger come in & get some pictures of it. All day long the wind had gotten stonger & colder. This is the Ludington Lighthouse.
The waves were very strong & crashing over the breakwaters & lighthouses.
Todd & I all bundled up.............it was very cold!
Here come the S.S. Badger..........it was really rockin' on the waves. We were glad we weren't on there trying to walk and that we had come over the day before! :) 
The Badger sure makes the lighthouses look small!

Oh, that last picture is really cool and I love that house. I would love to walk around the outside and look at it.
