Clare to Frankenmuth Michigan 76 miles. 2710 miles from the Pacific. I unzipped the door to my tent this morning and saw three deer lounging at my campsite. Once they got a look at me they decided this scamper off into the nearby words. I packed up camp happy and ate a camp breakfast of peanut butter, honey, and fresh Michigan blueberries on flatbread. I rode on the Pere Marquette bike trail for most of the morning. Michigan really knows how to set up and maintain their trails. As I approached Midland there were bikers rollerbladers and strollers on the trail. A biker told me that on the weekends it gets really really busy. I was thinking what a great way to keep the population healthy. Everyone from eight to eighty was out enjoying the cool summer weather. Us Wisconsinites could take some lessons from this great Michigan example. the weather was awesome today but my energy was sluggish. By after noon i was riding through Bay City Michigan. The route was a real challenge to figure out and the roads were busy without shoulders and they were full of potholes. I was happy once I made it back into the countryside on my way to Frankenmuth. I have been nursing a pinched nerve in my neck and back, which makes it difficult to sleep and painful when the road is rough. It was better later today so I’m hoping a good nights rest in the hotel will take care of it. and I can catch up on my laundry.
The news about my friend Ruth is good. She is recovering from a skull fracture and ruptured ear drum. She drank some water on her own, and talked a complete sentence. She is still in the hospital because of the bleeding on the right side of her brain. But things are going in a positive direction.
Thanks for all your good karma and prayers for her.
Take care, one tired freebird.
See if you can spot the moon in the farm picture. Its just above the silos. You will have to zoom on to see it.
