Hi Everyone,
After what I hope is the worst weather day we will experience on our trip, it was between 55 in Menomonee Falls this morning, to 45 near Escanaba, Mi, and rainy and windy. We traveled 360 miles by car to our destination this evening, St. Ignace, Quality Inn on beautiful Lake Huron. With a warm dry bed, cable TV, and internet, what could be better, as the temps are in the upper 40s and it has rained all day, it was an easy decision not to camp tonight.
We are all so excited and eager to start biking tomorrow morning. Eric has called for a 7:30 a.m. wakeup call. We're going to drive across the bridge (as we cannot bike across) and start at Mackinaw City, with a destination near Boyne City, Young State Park, about 65 miles. I've volunteer to drive the first day and find our first campsite. My family does not know there are a few yarn stores on the route I plan to visit.....
We did leave Madison on Sunday, June 7th, but with the bad weather outlook, we decided to surpise Grandma Delain in Menomonee Falls with a visit. Eric did a stir fry in his prized wok on the weber grill. it was great, and we enjoyed a great dinner on her 3-season porch. For some reason, it took us until close to 10:30 to get on the road, and with a stop at Target it was close to noon.
Looking forward to some sunshine, sweet tailwinds, great scenery, lovely roads, great people on our first day of biking in Michigan!!!!

Hey, Trudi! Well, you're off, and that's the first step. Too bad the weather hasn't been cooperating for you. That will change, as we all know; you'll be wishing for a cooler day sometime in the near future, as crazy as it sounds now. Have fun at those LYSs. I think you need a souvenir from each of them, don't you?! Take care, Sue
