Last day in Michigan

Today is day 39 and we have crossed Michigan. Our ride was 87 miles from Birch Run to Port Huron. Overnight in Birch Run there were massive thunderstorms dumping over 4 inches of rain. We awoke to rain pouring down and load was postponed from 0700 to 0730. By that time the rain had stopped but everyone had their rain gear as the forecast called for us to get wet. Unbelievably we went the entire ride without a drop but it sure looked threatening at times. A very pleasant ride with favorable winds and all of the riders really enjoyed it. We went through small towns and farm country with enough to look at to keep your interest. As we came into town we rode on Lakeshore Drive which had some amazing homes right on Lake Huron. Our hotel is almost right under the bridge to Canada. That's where we will head in the morning for a couple of days in Ontario. My roommate Michel will be in his native land for the first time in 40 days.
