The Circle Tour

[Offroad]

Thanks to Empty Sea for giving up his Sunday despite the weather to give me a great tour of his back yard.

After hearing about his 500 mile straight ride from PA, I feel like a wimp with only 950 miles in 3 days.

We ran into a train...



Then he took me to the Sunday meeting of motorcycle riders.....great group.....



I had to take a picture of one's comedy on his side bags:

After MTC started back home (370 mile day for him!) I got on the Circle Tour and Scenic Road at the same time!



Here's MTC's CB at Hika Bay.....beautiful bike and view!



I made it to the tip of the peninsula where they had a ferry.....the last two miles had several "switchbacks" in succession.



Sister Bay is just short of the tip. Cool little town, very hopping with people, restaurants, bars, etc.



BIG marina, picture doesn't do it justice.....took a video but imgur doesn't do videos....guess I need to open a You Tube account.



Today I found this guy at Geano Beach....my wife said I should have put on my yellow rain suit before I took the picture ;-)



It was a beautiful place....word of warning...many of the local restaurants are closed on Mondays.



For several reasons....I baled on the Lake Superior northern run and decided to stay with mostly the Circle Tour of Lake Michigan.

I'm at Mackinaw City tonight....came across that bridge.....I was advised to stop and look through the metal grates but 1) It says don't stop 2) For the most part all I could see were the support beams underneath. Messed with the depth perception on how high you really are.

Road 2 had the best view of the lake. Many times other roads were near the lake but trees blocked the view.

I may run up into Canada tomorrow. At this way I can be sure and be in Battle Creek Saturday for my grand sons graduation from the Navy Sea Cadet's training.

I almost forgot....temps have been in high 60's to low 70's almost the entire time.....just what I was looking for!
