Today we wandered north from our cg still with the goal to visit every state park.
We visited: Orchard Beach State Park, Ludington State Park, Charles Mears State Prk, Silver Lake State Park.
All were interesting, each was unique in its own way. Orchard Beach was primarily a campground built on top of a giant sand dune. Ludington was a large park with lots of beach and sand dunes. Charles Mears was interesting, we talked with a local couple and learned quite a bit about the impact of winter and the amount of sand deposited. The winner, hands down, was Silver Lake. Sand dunes, giant sand dunes, awesome!!!!
We learned from some locals that the amount of sand accumulated in the winter is 3-5’ high, even with snow fences up. Everything is take out, the tables, the benches, trash cans etc. Come spring, a snow plow comes and plows the park out.
When we came back to the cg we found out we were the only ones left. The cg is officially closed unless you give him a call. Not the first time we have encountered this. If you only want electricity there is no problem but by this time of year the water and sewer are closed down for the season so the cg is closed. Prevents a lot of problems. You know upfront what is going on and you get a good rate.
