The weather has broken, the wind is from the North East at 5 to 10 mph and the lake is beautiful. Today we left Charlevoix and traveled down the east coast of Lake Michigan to Frankfort Michigan. The following pictures are of the east coast. The information available says Lake Michigan has sand dunes along the east coast. The following 3 pictures show the hills which are sand dunes. They are a little higher than the ones at Cape Lookout and have more growth on them.

The picture below is another light house at the entrance to Frankfort, Mich. This is one of the largest light house residents that I've seen. The light keeper had nice digs, during its time.

The picture below is across from the marina. Michigan has provided, approximately every 20 miles or so, a safe refuge for boaters. Frankfort is one of those locations. This is an inlet into a small lake with a city marina. This is a beautiful little town that is approximately 4 blocks long and the rest of the area is very rural. Apparently this is a popular area, as are many other along this part of the lake, for summer vacationers. I can understand why people come here to visit during the summer. Today the temp got up to around 65 degrees and it was quite pleasant. However the gnats and bugs are awesome. They are all over the boat and thick in the air. When one hits the water, little fish grab them up. I guess it is all part of the food chain. Hopefully the weather will hold out and we may be in Chicago by Sunday or Monday.
