Montague, Michigan




It's about 7:00 AM Monday and we are ready to leave.
After about 8 hours, we made it to Michigan. Still have a few hours to go to get to our camp site.



The next day we couldn't wait to see Lake Michigan. We were hoping to drive along the lake and admire the view, but the roads don't run close enough to the water to see it. Here we are at a beach near Muskegon.

Wednesday, we went to the dunes - looks like the Sahara Desert.








Jeannine ran up the dune and back down. Just like a kid!






ORV (Off Raod Vehicle) course in the dunes.






Thursday, we met friends near Traverse City on the way to Mackinaw City.





Mackinac Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the world. It's a long way by bike!






Friday morning loading bikes onto the ferry to Mackinac Island. Motorized vehicles are not allowed on the island.





At the butterfly house on the island.



An old three-wheeler.



We've made it half way! Now we will have to finish the trip around the island.
