I was on the road at 7:30 this morning, anxious not to miss the ferry.  As it was, I got to Manitowoc 2 hours early, though very tired from yesterday's ride.

I stopped for a snack at a local place and wound up buying a full lunch plus dessert, the deal was so good.  Got to the ferry in plenty of time and checked the whole boat over before it set sail.

As soon as the boat left harbor, I wished I had skipped the rich food on shore...  I was queasy for about half the trip.  But it was still very enjoyable.

Got into Ludington, MI around 6 EDT and headed straight for the campground Joni & Garth had recommended.  As they had warned, it's pricey, but you can't beat the location: right across from their favorite pizza place!

Total distance: 82.01 mi (mostly by boat)
