Our last and final stop for the mini-lighthouse tour was within Silver Lake State Park, about 30 mins north of Muskegon, MI. This lighthouse was really hard to get to considering we had no idea that you had to have a parking pass to park right by it, so we parked a bit down the beach and "tried" to walk the beach to it. Little did we know that it was like a tornado out there. All day the wind would pick up each one we stopped at, and this one was by far the worst.
We walked down a little bit and the loose sand kept blowing so strong that gusts of sand would just pelt us over and over again. Todd had to stand in front of me with his back to the wind so that I could get my camera ready and then he'd lean over a bit holding on to me really tight because I couldn't even hold my camera straight. You can even see in the photos that the white blur in the sand was all the loose sand blowing right towards us. Let's just say we couldn't even walk up that close to it because the combination of the wind and sand made it almost impossible to even get near it. Good thing for telephoto lens's. Gotta love that 70-200mm.
These are the best I could do from the distance, but it was such a fun trip! We've gotten 4 down... 100 and something left in Michigan to see! Haha... maybe one day we will see them all.
