Many thanks to our warmshower hosts in Traverse City, MI -- Bob and Laura, along with their youngest daughter, Julia, and their ever-lovable laborador retriver, Jac (age 13!). A wonderful stay last night and fabulous breakfast of pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit, yogurt, and juice this morning. Best wishes to Bob and Laura on their upcoming tour too!
Nice ride this afternoon with a stop tonight at Wild Cherry campground in Lake Leelanau. They have the coolest portable shower setup I've ever seen.....it's a Cabela's shower stall with an on-demand hot water arrangement that uses a small propane tank and some kind of control box. Clever engineering.

After a very healthy breakfast - courtesy of the Otwells - Kim and I hopped onto M22 north. Following a beautiful pedal along Lake Michigan, we caught the early bird dinner special (just like two old farts) at the North Country Grill and Pub in Suttons Bay. Then we turned west and pedaled uphill to tonight's campsite.
Today's ride: 23 miles (37 km)
Total: 885 miles (1,424 km)
