The 30th annual PALM started in Ludington, within walking distance of Lake Michigan. Ludington is a pretty little resort town, port for the S.S.Badger, the last and largest coal-powered carferry ever built. It sails across Lake Michigan between Michigan and Wisconsin.After a night of pre-ride restlessness, Kay joined over 700 other riders for the first leg of the ride across the state. The skies were an ominous deep blue, warning of threatening weather to come. But, the dark skies were only a bluff, although the weather continued to tease the bikers, with the "bikers curse" of headwinds from every direction.
After tidying up Van, I headed up the coast to explore the beaches and trails of Ludington State Park. I ambled along the shore for a couple of miles, chasing waves and seagulls then, visited the guides and volunteer hosts at the Big Sable Pointe Lighthouse. After my walk, Van and I drove to meet Kay at our next stop, Hesperia.
