We’ve been in Ludington for a few days and have really enjoyed the town, the beach and Ludington State Park. The Park is miles of beach strung along a road. There are turnouts for parking, campgrounds and big dunes all along the coast. The first attached picture is Emery at the beach.
On Wednesday we went to the Amber Elk Farm just outside of Ludington with Roger and Jean Beck and their friends Doug and Jan. We weren’t sure what to expect, but it was fun. The herd is 195 animals strong right now, with most of the elk being males of all ages. Big breeding bulls, and younger males that are either slaughtered for food, sold to other breeders, or sold to hunting preserves as game are everywhere and quite a sight with their big horns. I’ve attached a few pictures from the Farm, which we toured in wagons drawn by a tractor. You haven’t lived until a big elk has eaten corn out of your hand!!!
Later on Wednesday, Roger and Doug helped Emery move the boat to Frankfort; Jean, Jan and I moved their car and our Jeep. So we now have the boat and the Jeep in Frankfort’s Jacobson’s Marina, one of our favorite ports. We are planning on lobster for dinner tonight, straight from the Marina’s grills as they cater dinners to us boaters.
Weather is spectacular here, and we will stay till Saturday when we plan to move to some of the Grand Traverse Bay ports….Leland, Northport, Elk Rapids and Traverse City. Cheers to all.

We had a wonderful day,also. The Elk Ranch is interesting - I like you don't like to feed them, but they are really awesome.
The boys enjoyed the boat ride, especially driving the boat. Emery is brave to let them drive it.
Jan and Doug said we have really nice friends, and we do.
We also enjoyed your visit to our home. Remember the Beck's BB is always open to you.
