Recently, Dake Marketing Manager Frank Kennedy and his wife Diane wheeled their bicycles into the picturesque Lake Michigan port of Frankfort, Michigan. Frankfort is the western end of the Betsie Valley Bike Trail.
“The trail runs along the south side of Crystal Lake, which was a brilliant turquoise, then through some woods with tunnels of shade, and finally follows the Betsie Rive and Lake Betsie into Frankfort”, said Kennedy.
Biking the trail helps work up an appetite and the Kennedys headed for Dinghy’s Restaurant and Bar when they rode into town.
“There’s this great, old Dake Engine Company ship’s wheel mounted on the wall right at the front of Dinghy’s. It’s exciting to see some of Dake’s Great Lake shipping heritage in such a public place. Dake engines and steam equipment played an important role in Great Lakes commerce”, said Kennedy.
“The next time you’re in Frankfort, stop by Dinghy’s and tell them that Dake sent you”.
