Happy Father’s Day, Dad

2011 Ride of Silence—A Photo Essay

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore: Platte River Area—A Photo Essay
The first full day that I was at the Platte River Campground, my mom and I took a bike ride down to Lake Michigan. It was very beautiful—a little chilly, but very beautiful. We first rode to the end of Lake Michigan Drive where we saw a couple of fisherman heading back to the parking lot with their catch. We could see the Manitou Islands (the baby bears).
