There wasn't much to photograph or write about today. If it hadn't been for the flat tire and sudden rain storm, I wouldn't have anything to say at all!
Kerry here ... I saw this along the road today and immediately thought of Patrick of Racpat fame. After I saw it, I did a U-turn to go back and retreive it and promptly got a flat tire. THANKS PATRICK!!! :-)
Kerry again... It is so much fun changing a flat when it's really, really hot!! At least it was the front tire which, while still a pain, is much easier to change than the rear.
We had lunch at a bar and grill in Capac. It was hot, so we took a long break to cool off. When we went out back where we had parked the bike, we saw that it had started raining. It was unexpected and fortunately brief. We put the rain covers on the panniers and waited under the canopy of the gas station next door to the restaurant. In less than ten minutes, the rain stopped and it was clear the rest of the way to Imlay City.
We have two more hot days, then the high temperatures are going to be in the 70's. Fall is on the way and Florida beckons!
