All the locals in Ludington are excited that the Badger starts sailing May 28. On sailing day, there is a Badger train ride that goes around town for the little kids, a fire hose send off, a crowd down at the dock waving and drinking coffee. We all feel proud that the Badger was recently placed on the National Register of Historical Places, right along with the Statue of Liberty and the Grand Canyon.
We’re open—it seems a few weeks before most motels nearby. I attribute that to our eagerness to get started. We’ve had fun decorating the rooms; new bedspreads and carpet and little touches that give each room a character of its own.
Debbie, my partner, has moved to Ludington full time. The interesting fact about her is that she is a tax expert with the IRS, keeping our motel books clean and proper. No Enron or Citybank here
We’ve got the waterfall running. We’ve got the wolfhounds on duty. And we’ve got Paul Schoenharl, my husband, on board to do man things. He’s even made himself a man cave in the basement. He’s an antique dealer, so if you have an antique you’d like an opinion on, just bring it along—if it isn’t too big!
