Goodbye, Michigan

Schuyler spent 12 full days in the State of Michigan, but we now find ourselves in Michigan City, Indiana and back into the Central Time Zone. Michigan has been beautiful and another in a long list of Loop highlights. Why would Michigan City which is in Indiana be named that you may ask? It turns out that it was so-named in 1832 because this was the endpoint for Michigan Road which ran from Indianapolis to Lake Michigan.

Tomorrow we head across the lake 40 miles to Chicago (we can actually see the Chicago skyline from here) where Don will depart. I’m ready to get off the Lake as it’s been a little rough at times. The inland rivers will be a pleasant change of pace from lake travel.

I forgot to post this picture when we were in Saugatuck but it's an interesting story.

I think Don my be trying to tell me something by sending me this picture.  Like someone would ever do that to me!

A wild turkey roaming the marina grounds in St. Joseph, Michigan.  West Basin Marina was one of the nicest marinas I've seen along the Loop.

Of course there's a lighthouse picture!

or two

maybe even three!
