In the morning I pack up the gear on the motorcycle and drive down to the parking lot near the beach. Steve is there at his Jeep, he helps me carry my stuff the 3/4 mile south to where he is camped in the treeline behind the dunes. A few days of swimming, hiking, eating, and stories told around the campfire ensue. The sunsets on this shore are really exceptional.
The path down to the beach from my campsite. I went for a swim every day I was here.
I parked Greta behind Steve's Jeep for a little more security. I was worried about leaving her all alone in the parking lot at night (about half a mile from my campsite).
Those are eclairs with bacon on them... you've got to be kidding me! I settled for a couple of cookies.
This is the place with the bacon eclairs.
Luddington lighthouse.
That gull is checking me out.
Day 2
Eggs and potatoes for breakfast.
General Mills factory in Reed City. Punch the clock, make some Cheerios I guess.
All my gear spread out to make dinner. We had both of our stoves going tonight.
That looks like a horizontal funnel cloud -- like a kruller.
Steve going down to the beach for a swim.
A turbulent sunset tonight.
Day 3
Two float planes flew north hugging the coast, then 10 minutes later flew by us again heading south.
A wider look from my cellphone. The long lense on my camera is great for zooms but I didn't bring the short lense for panoramas (I've got enough gear as it is).
