The Circle Tour

[Offroad]

Day 6

Weather worked out perfect! 67 to 74 degrees all day long. Example picture below 67 degrees at 10:34 AM.



Rained hard that night, woke up to this view:



Past Radar



Future Radar



I'll have to say, this east coast of Lake Michigan has the most amazing views so far!

Road 119 started me out. I basically tried to take any road nearest the water that wasn't a dead end.

First saw the Legs Inn Empty Sea mention....it was mid morning so didn't stop.

Then the tunnel of trees:



Didn't disappoint, it was very cool. This was the view from someone's front yard.



One house had the biggest rocks I've ever seen used for a chimney.



Harbor Springs was probably my favorite views.



This is how they get privacy on their docks.



What a great Weeping Willow Tree.....they had bike paths everywhere!


Then on to Petosky







Here is your $700,000 view!





Then Traverse City....lots of boats!



Finally made it up to Suttons Bay to the restaurant Empty Sea recommended VI Grille.....it was great!

Luckily they had Wi-Fi so I could make my hotel reservation in Manistee for that night on my laptop/tablet since my phone was dying.



Went on up to Northport....Road 22 was great all the way!

Made to Sleeping Bear Dunes.....I needed local help to find the big one.





Didn't really need the rain jacket but it was also an excellent wind breaker over my mesh jacket and 67 degree temps.


Ended the day with a great view coming down a hill at Arcadia





This was far the best views of the trip!
