The Barista at Bear Claw Coffee Shop. Great coffee, by the way!
Now, for the cycling! Michigan is Cyclists paradise! The drivers watch for us and the infrastructure is great. We did a lot of riding between South Haven, Saugatuck, Holland and Grand Haven, and the terrain is fairly flat. The weather couldn't have been better, with a daily high around 75℉. We did decide one thing though, we're changing touring plans. We're going to drive up to the UP, and park the van in St Ignace and spend May and June in Michigan up in the UP. There are campsites galore up there and it looks to be fairly cheap. They have State Park and State Forest camping about every 30 or so miles and it sounds like a blast, so we're going to do it!

Saugatuck, Michigan: The Keewatin.
This ship was built 4 years before the Titanic, and was in service through the Second World War in passenger service around the Great Lakes. She's a museum now, floating at Red Dock between Saugatuck and Douglas, Michigan. I wis she was open, but the museum doesn't open until after Memorial Day.
Last but not least; PIE!

Michigan looks an awful lot like the Atlantic coast in your photos.
You have a good eye for photos. Or are yours like mine. Take 100 and use 10. 8>).

Hey! Who's that skinny guy in those pictures?? ;0)
Looks like you had a great time. It is beautiful up there. I had forgotten until I saw those pics!
What a great weekend! I'd forgotten about MI and how nice it is. Looks like both of you are coming along well. Good job and can't wait to hear about the UP trip!
Thanks, All!
Midnight, yep, one of the advantages of digital is I can afford to shoot 100 and use 10!
Mike, Dan, yeah, we loved it up in Michigan! I especially got a kick out of the expression on the wifes face when she asked why there were 6 foot marker poles on top of the Fire Hydrants and I explained that it was so they could be found in the snow and a way to avoid the snowplow smashing them off the base!
