Ludington, MI to Grand Haven, MI

Miles Traveled 68.2
Total Miles Traveled 6147
Day 351

We enjoyed our stay at Ludington, were able to get caught up on laundry, changed the engine oil, and had a great time with loopers Kevin and Jill on “Chasing 80”. 

The wind finally calmed down and we continued our way south to Grand Haven, Michigan.  We passed the Little Sable Light.  The design used 109, 1 foot diameter wood pilings driven into the sand, capped by 12 feet of stone as a stout base for the brick tower.  The light, originally constructed in 1874, stands 107 feet tall using a flashing white light flashing every 6 seconds.



The entrance to Grand Haven



Grand Haven is known for its musical Fountain, a synchronized display of water and lights performed every evening at dusk.



On the way to Grand Haven, we received a phone call from Gold Loopers Randy and Sherri from "Priorities".  We met at Green Turtle Bay in 2013 when we were "wana be loopers" and they were just starting the loop.  We have stayed in touch, and met them at Marathon, Fl last February.  They are originally from Holland Michigan, saw we were in the area from our blog, and met us at Grand Haven.  What a great surprise and visit.
