We love Michigan!!!
After a rather warm night's sleep and a very early (and buggy) morning packing up, we were on the road by 8:30 this morning, happily on our way out of Wisconsin. Thankfully, it was overcast all day so it stayed cool, though a bit humid, all day. Much, much more comfortable than yesterday! In addition, we weren't on any highways today. In fact, we were on the same two lane road along the lake for over 190 miles of our 250 mile ride. It was simply gorgeous. It did sprinkle a bit here and there, but it was so much better than the heat yesterday that we didn't mind at all.
We stopped for lunch at a little diner along our route, and then headed to our campsite. It was fun driving in as we saw the Mackinac bridge from the other side, even though we never crossed it. We also stopped at "The Mystery Spot" just a few miles from our campsite, which was quite fun.
We set up camp just before the rain started, and decided that after 6 hours on the bike, and a tough day yesterday, we deserved a nice dinner that we didn't have to cook. So we found a great little grill on the lake in downtown St. Ignace and had a lovely meal. Now we're back at camp, in steady light rain, but we're at the table under the tarp with a few beers and a nice cool breeze, so life is good.
Big moments of the day - 1) we're back in the Eastern Time Zone after a three day stint in Central Time and 2) we hit 2,000 miles!
