Dutch Treat Camping and Recreation
Zeeland, Michigan
The human-powered chain ferry across the Kalamazoo River is one of the most popular attractions. It has been in operation since 1838 and is the last chain ferry still running in the country.
The chain on the river bottom is hand cranked through a series of gears to power the ferry. The young men powering the ferry get a real workout with each crossing.
Even the rest rooms in this town reflect the artistic tastes of the residents.
A fishing tournament was just ending and several boats were docked at the scale station. This is my idea of "roughing it" on the water.
We discovered this marching band sculpture at a local university in Allendale, MI. They might sound pretty good, but their style was a little stiff.
