Drive out Highway 42 toward Kewaunee. Park the car somewhere and pedal the roads along Lake Michigan, roughly between the old Kewaunee burger stand and the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant. If you start at Kewaunee and head south, you'll turn left off 42 onto Lakeshore Road. It's significant that they don't call it Lakeshore Drive. Drives are places where the homes have manicured lawns and big attached garages and fancy lights on poles along the front walk.
Roads are simpler.
Roads mostly pass by farms and wood lots. Lakeshore Road is still that way, which is what makes it remarkable. It runs anywhere from 50 to 100 yards from the edge of the bluff on Lake Michigan. This is what the real estate people call prime lakefront property. And yet, on this stretch, you'll find very few great big new homes.
