Had a task to do in Traverse City (150 miles north) today. Weather looked good (high in low 70s), so rode up there on state highways (avoided interstate).
Afterwards, headed northwest to Glen Arbor.
Stopped for a late lunch in GLen Arbor. Town was clogged up with tourist parking all over. Restraunts and bars with long wait time (like last time I was there a couple years ago), so got a nice big deli sandwich at a grocery store (also like last time). The grocery store had nice seating area outside where could watch the tourist drive around looking for parking, and walking around deciding where to go.
Rode M-22 south from there and then home. THis bike has now earned it M-22 sticker.
Was out from 1030am till 8pm, 375 miles.
Only stopped for one roadside pic
ANd only one off-route excursion.
Point Bessie Lighthouse on Lake Michigan, less than a mile off of M-22.
Had a nice visitor center, with vidio history playing. COuld buy tickets to walk into lighthouse and climb to top.
But I just walked the grounds some and then walked down the shore a bit. Was there maybe 20 minutes.
