Bob I 41 Loc: Indiana

One of our goals during October's road trip was to take the ferry from Ludington, Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. We've talked about doing it for several years. Finally made it happen! Of course we couldn't control the weather that was overcast, but no real rain.

1.....We boarded the ferry at 7:45 AM. They drive your car both on & off for you. You leave your keys in the car with the window half way down in case the keys get accidently locked inside! Felt weird, but had no problems.

7.....About half way across we heard what sounded like a loud explosion! It was just the ship letting off steam & it certainly was loud! I was seated just inside this open window.

8.....Coming into Port Manitowoc, Wisconsin. It was 1 PM our time, 12PM theirs.

9.....They are actually backing into the port so they can drive the cars & trucks off.

10.....Good bye S.S. Badger! We enjoyed our ride!

Thanks Transbuff1985 (Bob)......Pleasure being here to share some of our travels, which I might say are much fewer and further between this past 1 1/2 years! Our family are all doing well and glad you enjoyed our ferry cruise. I've shared a couple of other posts from this October vacation which took me a bit to get back into doing it correctly. Thanks again, Bpb
