We had 'docktails' with four other couples who are also loopers. There was a neat mix of experience of looping amongst the group. One, 'In My Element, Bob and Debi' who are on their loop 1 2/3 will cross Lk Michigan to Door County, tour there, then have their boat shipped to the state of Washington.
Frankfort is a great fishing community, many anglers, and the fish cleaning station was packed.
Frankfort is an area where I flew my ultralight with a group of great guys. We started from Thompsonville, flew to the lake and had a great time flying over the sandy beaches (I will post a pic when I can find it). We did many 'touch and goes' on the sandy beach areas, it was awesome fun.
The sand dunes along the lake were impressive, Obviously the Sleeping Bear area is most impressive with the 450 ft tall dunes. The angle of the sand is also a wonder, as it seems that the sand would naturally level out, but alas, the wind keeps the dunes in a very majestic state. No wonder it is a National Park.
I have climbed the Sleeping Bear dunes (only certain areas are designated for this purpose), it is a tough challenge, as the sand keeps moving down with each step, sometimes half of the stride.
