Friday was suppose to be maybe one of the last really nice days, and I thought that was a good excuse to get out for more than a couple hours.
Thought that I should find that brick lighthouse that have pictures posted on some sites (BMWST and IG). First problem is that I got about no idea where it is, well, somewhere along Lake Michigan north of Muskegon I know, and maybe north of Ludington. Second problem is I am not sure of the name of it.
After some poking around online, I find is called Little Sable, is a state park, and is south of Ludington near Silver Lake State park. But, hey, I have been bye there a few times in recent years and don’t recall seeing anything about it.
So with that about 10minutes of planning (standing in driveway next to bike) I take off to head north.
Head to Muskegon then follow lakeshore as much as can.
Here is an often pictured place. Is called “that tree” on a regional photography FB group.
Lot of other intersting roads thru the lakeshore dunes to continue north.
Made it to the Silver Lake area, and then used the GPS….
oh, need to turn at an intersection with no signage and go down this road a few miles
yep here it is
Found a far corner of parking lot, and found a vantage point to minimize sight of parking lot…. Am not parked out in a sand dune... but you guys know I like to do that.
Hiked around out in the dunes there - difficult going.
Did then ride into Ludington.
And then buzz back on state highway, and temps did get into the mid 80s for probably the last time. Was good to be out most of the morning and most of the afternoon.
Over the weekend, I did get GK clutch cable rerouted. Better now.
And Today (Monday) did take GK out for morning ride.
Out around area where can sometimes see herons, egrets, swans and such.
Where I stopped, the bike looked so good in the low morning sun......
opps, I see where missed a spot of rubbing off the chrome cleaner.......
