It seems that people in Michigan stay up late but then they sleep late in the morning. Of course the sun doesn’t set until 9:30 PM so its not totally dark until well after our bedtime!
We rode our bikes the three miles into Manistee this morning so I could shop at the Farmer’s Market. I keep forgetting that produce will arrive here later than in Missouri. For instance, strawberries are in right now as is asparagus, lettuce, radishes, and new potatoes. I was getting green beans in MO right before we left home but here they had some really nice peas.
After riding through white picket fenced neighborhoods with homes like ones found on the Eastern seaboard, we found the 5th Street Beach and Harbor Point Lighthouse. Even though it does not appear to be a working lighthouse, it is on the National Historic Registry and the sign on it says that the fog horn could sound unexpectedly. Because of high waves due to storms, there is an elevated catwalk that has been preserved from long ago. Across the inlet from this lighthouse is another, smaller one. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more as we go up the coast.
This afternoon we rode our bikes in the other direction and found another small beach about a mile from the campground. We rode toward Onekema but turned around about half way there. We put about 20 miles on the bikes today.
