The old car ferry dock near Elberta, MI on Betsie Bay is nearly gone now, but in its hayday was the hub of activity. Cars were not the best way to travel to the west side of Lake Michigan from this part of Michigan, it made sense to drive on to the car ferry for the 8 hour trip across in relative comfort. You could read a book, have a meal, and talk with your companions.
We really do have it good now with superhighways and jet airliners, but don't you think we lost something when the old steamers quit hauling cars?
