Ellsworth to Interlochen Photos


Ima gonna sleep on the patio of this cute little shed thingy here.  Hopefully spiders won't muder my bits.

Morning fog after it cleared a bit on the lake. This is what I ate breakfast to.

Dude in Traverse City called this a "Burrito Bike." Yes, it scraped the ground a lot.  It's made out of an old Schwinn tandem frame.

Hills today...

Hey look! It's where I ate dinner behind the store thingy!  The lady running it was super nice.

Traverse City has water.
 and beaches

and is surrounded by hills
 but still has beaches

An you enter it on a cool bike path. This path is a good example of Rails to Trails in places, but much if it is poorely made.  I guess I am spoiled by Eugene's excellent paths.  This path was too narrow (should be 12 feet), and concrete was too thin so it was wavey and cracked, and frequently turned into a wide sidewalk punctuated by driveways and stop signs (like my picture from yesterday) which is incredibly dangerous. Also, all the up and downs into those driveways had a 1/2 curb which sucks to ride.  Michigan could learn a lot for Eugene and Portland.

Views like this were all day and night. Well, all day. It's dark at night.

Many of the houses around here in thet rural areas have their own seal or name.  There were tons of them. I wish Oregon did that.  This was my favorite.

Oh look we're back in Travers City!
  Easterport: "Small... BUT MIGHTY!!"

This was sthe fog that I woke up too, which said "go back to bed or cars will run you over!"
