The way it should be

This was a picture book day for bike travel. We rode from Grand Marais to Munising, MI on one road variously known as Sable Falls Rd, Adams Trail and H-58,it's county road number. It is a beautiful road. Invariably smooth and lightly travelled, at least until near Munising. It winds over gently rolling forest lands and is the access road for the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The day began a little chilly and cloudy but warmed and cleared as it went along. We were both pretty tired with legs that felt a bit rubbery from yesterday's adventure in the sand and gravel. But we really enjoyed the ride. Into Munising was a long downhill, which was welcome after 50 miles. We stopped for a Subway sandwich as we had not had much food all day. We ate half and saved the rest for our dinner in camp. The road had no services or restaurant until Munising. We stopped midday at a beautiful lake and had a banana and some pastry or bars. After the sub we road to the Munising Tourist Park Campground which is much like last night's stay in the municipal Woodlands CG in Grand Marais. Tomorrow we ride through Marquette to Negaunee, MI. It is predicted to rain. We will deal with it. I want to attach some pictures of the trip so far but my internet connection is not cooperating today so maybe tomorrow. Until then, happy trails!
