To celebrate Memorial Day Weekend, I was going to get a ticket for the SS Badger and take a cruise ship from WI to MI.  Just curious if there was anyone on here from the Ludington MI area where the cruise ship docks?  I was planning on visting all the light houses along Lake MI.  I'm always up for a "unique" experience or  two.  If someone knows of something unique to Michigan in the Ludington area I'd really like to hear about it.  As always thanks in advance!  Wishing everyone a great holiday weekend!

Do a utube search for Wayne's Diaries a utuber who is from here and worked on the Badger with some vids taken aboard.  Kind of an interesting cat anyways and has enough vids to keep you occupied. If I remember right the Badger is one of the few very last steam powered up there. Seems to me it's coal fired.

North of Ludington, in Manistee, there is a rail road car ferry you can tour and sleep on.  There is also a Cost Guard cutter you can tour.  If you like fish just south of town is Bortell's fisheries.  They have great fish.  If you like pizza there is a place in town called the Chuck wagon.  
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
