Ludington, Manitowoc, and the SS Badger In Between!

Have you ever watched Anthony Bourdain’s show layover? If not, Anthony goes to a place for something like 24 or 48 hours and experiences what he can in that amount of time. A few weeks ago we had a bit of a “layover” traveling to the western coast of Lake Michigan. We weren’t expecting much… boy, were we in for a surprise! We spent a grand total of 36 hours in Ludington, MI and Manitowoc, WI and had a blast during our “layover”!...

Frankenmuth... Michigan's Little Bavaria!

Frankenmuth... Michigan's Little Bavaria!

From the start of the trip we weren’t sure how we’d spend our last couple days.  We knew we’d need to make it far enough south to be within 4 hours of home (we don’t like to drive more than 4 hours with the trailer) and assumed we’d end up in the Bay City area.  As we looked for campground options and must see/do places nothing jumped out at us.  Then we looked inland a bit and found a Yogi Bear’s Jellystone campground (Daniel’s favorite) within walking distance of Frankenmuth… perfect!...
