Thursday July 15th Lake Michigan





Well, our appointment for fixing the HWH system on the motorhome is not until tomorrow so we had another day to hang out. We decided to drive over to Saugatuck again and visit the beach at Lake Michigan and some sights around the area. The beach was packed with people and when you look out you get the feeling you are looking at an ocean not a lake. All of the Great Lakes are huge. The boat pictured is the steamship Keewatin (now a museum). The Keewatin was built for the Canadian Pacific Railroad in Scotland. It was delivered to the Great Lakes in 1907. She served for over 50 years as "the railroad" connecting the Georgian Bay and upper Lake Superior railheads. She is the last of the Great Lakes Passenger Steamships still afloat.
