National Park Service Rangers are offering a variety of interpretive programs through the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore this summer and they invite everyone to join them.
Here is a preview of their schedule:
“Heroes of the Storm” – Daily at 3pm at the Maritime Museum in Glen Haven. Park Rangers recruit the assistance of young audience members to serve as U.S. Life Saving Service surfmen to recreate a shipwreck rescue on land. They haul lines and use replicas of historic equipment in an effort to save Raggedy Ann and Andy from their sinking vessel.
Ranger-led Bicycle Tours – Tuesdays through Fridays from June 23rd to August 28th. Ride the winding back roads as you tour through history. Seven bike tours per week at very different locations.
Recreation and Tourism: Past, Present and Future! Wednesdays at 11am, Thursdays at 5pm (9miles, 2.5 hours)
Ride through the ages with a ranger on this recreational and scenic opportunity. Join us on a journey through the history of recreation and tourism, discovering how this has changed over time – from 150 years ago and into the future!
Discovering Cultural Landcapes: Port Oneida Rural Historic District Wednesdays at 5pm, Fridays at 11am (7 miles, 2 hours)
What is a cultural landscape! Come to Port Oneida to find out as we pedal through the 3,500 acre Port Oneida Rural Historic District, the largest of its kind in the entire nation!
Backroads: Farms and Forests Thursdays at 11am, Fridays at 5pm (7-10 miles, 2.5 hours)
South of Empire, we will start at an old school house and ride through an agricultural landscape, visit a ghost town and transition into the woods at a former logging area, talking about the natural and cultural history along the way!
No reservations are needed, participants need only purchase the park entrance pass to enjoy the fun ($10/vehicle valid for 7 days or $20/vehicle for an entire year).

Ford Transportation Interpreter, Ryan Locke, will be offering guided bike tours weekly on the backroads of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
Student forums are a great place for students to exchange information with one another.
Making use of an RRSP investment account with such low commissions is interesting. I’ll think about it. Thank you.
