Day 32 of Da Ride

     The day started with a midnight ferry ride on the SS Badger from Manitowoc, WI to Ludington, MI. The four hour ferry ride across Lake Michigan was simply priceless! We were blessed with no clouds so those brave and warm enough could look out on a starlit sky from the open deck on the front of the ship. Others chose to watch a movie in the movie lounge and everyone was able to get a little sleep over the course of the trip. With the time change, we are now in the Eastern time zone. We got in a little before sunrise and found accomodations at the Stearns Motor Inn for some well-deserved rest. The afternoon was spent planning the last section of the trip, doing laundry, and some shopping for a new sleeping mat for Steve. We took a ride along Lakeshore Road (M116) at the end of the day so that we could watch the sunset over Lake Michigan. We were blessed again with beautiful weather all day and any picture does not give justice to being present as the sunset. We look forward to getting back on the bicycles tomorrow to travel across the mitten (Michigan).

    The midnight ferry ride sounded so peaceful. It also seems like you are trying to squeeze in a few extra naps to be ready for the last leg of the trip. Welcome to Eastern Standard Time — be safe.
