Day 4 - Michigan City Rotary Club

Well another day and again what a wonderful time. We got to see the Indiana Dunes Park area and Mount Baldy, which is a highly active dune that is steadily moving toward the highway. Dan gave us a great background of the ecology of the area as he used to be a park ranger there. Pat and Dale kindly drove us around the area and took us to have a look at the lakeside and the old lighthouse. The battering of the area has caused quite a problem with sand build up so they have to dredge sections of the lake and jetty and redeposit the sand over near the base of the dune as it is now starved of sand.

We then went and presented to the Michigan City Rotary Club. They are an absolutely lovely bunch of people. they listened with great interest to our presentation and then asked lots of interesting questions. Pat had to call a close to the questions as it was time to go. We then had a chance to look at the Museum in the venue where we ate. Lots of wheeled memorabilia.

Afterwards we went and meet the Mayor of the City who very kindly gave us the key to the City. Wow free pass to everywhere he he!!!

We then had another interesting tour at the local establishment and then while the others went shopping Pat and Dennis kindly took me around to have a closer look at the City highlights. We all ended up where we were having dinner and had a great time with members of the club who were able to come to dinner.

Til next time.
