    my last excursion was some thirty years ago when the world had significantly more time and less…read moreinternet, go figure... no big hurry to be anywhere so why not leave the driving to them and feel the wind in your face and the sun on your back as one shore disappears from view long before the other breaks the horizon ahead... it's a big lake but we'll get across so relax and have a nap with someone you like... the S.S. Badger is the last of the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad's railcar ferries - from a lineage starting in 1897 - to ply the lake from the northernmost port of generally ice-free winter waters. the 410' Badger first entered service in 1953 alongside her sister ship the S.S. Spartan (1952). the Badger which has long since been converted for hauling cars and trucks and people is the last operational coal fired passenger steam ship on the lakes. the ferry can haul up to 600 people and 180 vehicles each trip. in 2016 the Badger was designated a National Historic Landmark by the Department of Interior with a much unintended irony...

    I like the ride but they changed the way the webpage presents . On the calander all dates were…read morewhited out . You could not click on Tuesday. So I clicked wed and bought a midnight trip. Drove 260 miles to find the place all gated up, no ship , no people and no one to call or talk to. Then my daughter finally figured it out and said oh! It turned Wed at midnight.the ticket was for yesterday, Tuesday! WTH? I'm 74 and my day starts at 7AM.just nuts. It then cost me being a nerve wreck because the entire town is shut down except for a plastic window gas station and a quick trip . So It then cost me a hotel night, which I didn't plan and NOW, I have to drive at night, which I was trying to avoid at my age. What a messed up SS Badger Schedule. They need to change the calendar . If it would have allowed me to enter Tuesday, I probably would have understood it was a day ahead what a stupid mess. Now I lost an entire day at the hotel that I didn't plan on spending that money all because of the way their system is set up. Deffinetly not for senior friendly
