"It was a cold and stormy day, or we would have walked out to it.. several people were lunching in their cars, a huge parking lot lets you have some privacy.."

"I had my route all planned out after last year's adventure of finding my way to the car loading area. This year I got a detour in Ludington and wandered a bit. I'm so glad they say arrive an hour early! Google maps is zero help when the detour is unknown and it keeps directing you to a closed road. It's still convenient and a great way to travel once you get where you need to be."
