The Circle Tour

[Offroad]

That does look good!

I thought for a long time that I should spend my retirement years riding around the U.S., sampling and rating local steakhouses, writing a tour book about them, and then writing off the cost of my journey as a business expense. But boy oh boy, does that pie look good. Perhaps I should consider a second volume, "Motorcyclist's Guide to the Best Pie in the U.S."

Great Idea Long Ranger! You write it, I'll buy it!
Day 4....Technical difficulties with my phone made GPS and pictures end about mid day. I should have brought a small camera like Ferret and Empty Sea keeps around their necks.

I actually had to break down and buy a paper map and tape it to my gas tank with gaff tape like Empty Sea did in Berea.

Luckily I had my Garmin, not as friendly as Google Maps....but I'm learning. It does keep track of my route.

Here is my route....424 miles



H58 was the high light of the trip....thanks Allen K!

I thought I could pick it up early and took 407 north to deer park but it ended up being a 40 mile round trip dead end. A sign just said pavement ends.....and to think 2 weeks ago I was disappointed with the chip and seal on the BRP.....I would have gladly ridden on chip and seal today LoL

I did get a picture of the mackinac bridge....pretty impressive engineering.





A local restaurant had a unique stove....they are serious about logging and burning wood up here. I've never seen so many trees on relatively flat ground. Saw lots of logging truck with about 20+ wheels on them.



I made it up to Whitefish Point on Lake Superior.





After that phone died....I have to get a GPS tracker like the "Spot One" Empty Sea has.....my family was pretty worried when my dot stopped moving about mid day.

I think I'll make another loop tomorrow from Mackinaw City before I move south on Thursday.
