In Appleton, not a fan of storms on motorcycles

Seems there is a large storm between us and home

Stopping in Appleton, maybe catch a movie while we are here.

Made it to Shawano. We are probably going to do some rafting on the Wolf river tomorrow, rain or shine! We might go to the local casino tonight.

We are into Wisconsin

Currently stopped for gas somewhere near Klondike, WI. Everyone in the upper peninsula mows their lawn on Thursday!

We made it to Paradise…Michigan that is

We rode through the rest of the lower peninsula of Michigan along the shore of Lake Michigan. We got to Mackinaw City about 4pm and decided to ride further. We ended up in a small town called Paradise, MI. Good food and beer at a local brew pub. This morning we might ride along the south edge of Lake Superior and end up in Wisconsin tonight.

No kayaking in the rain

We’re going to ride to Mackinaw City this morning due to the cold and rain.
Maybe they have better weather in the upper peninsula?

Back at Art’s pub for 3rd meal in a row

Up early and ready for kayaking. Sure would be nice to see the sun sometime this week.

We just did exercise

We just got back from walking. Glen Arbor is really big! Several blocks. We are going to ride out to the dunes now and go kayaking on a river tomorrow morning.

Wow, that was rainy

We are in Glen Arbor, MI at Art’s pub. That makes about 550 miles in the last two days. We will probably stay here or Traverse City tonight. Save of the day goes to Mike!

Survived the Super 8 in Muskegon!

We are on the road already. Stopped for gas and we are eating at Russ’s diner currently. Tim has the days ride laid out and it looks like about 180 miles before Traverse City.

Muskegan, MI is over 300 miles from Rockton, IL

After dinner at a Marc’s Big Boy, we finally made it to Muskegon. I think we averaged about 25mph for the day
