Day 34 - Terrace Bay to Petoskey Michigan in 405 miles. That makes 10,255 miles the guys have ridden since they left Indianapolis, Indiana.


Light rain fell overnight.  The guys had to suit up in the rain gear again.
If they never have to wear their rain suits ever again, that will be too soon.
 It was still raining when they left this morning.  It continued to rain for the next 2 hours, at times heavily.
 Lake Superior also made sure that there was ample fog to contend with.






Mike, Fred and David at the morning fuel stop.  Everyone had to change into dry gloves before they left.

And there's Fred, hamming it up for the camera!  
You know they're still having fun when Fred's smiling in the rain.







Joe at the Lake Superior overlook.






Fred lost his smile, there's some serious snacking going on.






Mike and Fred at the lunch stop.






Lunch at The Cookhouse.  These guys must be really hungry after fighting the rain all morning.






Fred, Mike and David going over the Canada/USA bridge.






Entering customs.  They were glad to see the guys this time!
The five adventurers were glad to see the United States of America again!






Sault Ste Marie!






Joe, Mike, Daivd, Ron and Fred at the rest area just inside the United States in Michigan.
Check out the smiles on those faces!






The Mackinac Bridge and more construction to deal with.  They said it was really windy on the bridge.






They have now reached Petoskey, Michigan where they will be staying for the night.






Stafford's Perry Hotel, they take the Christmas lights down after the holiday.






Checking into the Perry Hotel.







Mike took over the duty of emailing the images of the daily rides since Stu's absence.
He did a mighty fine job too.






David has perfected his ironing skills and will be helping out with the laundry when he gets home.






You can't visit Petoskey without contacting these two.  
Lynn and Jan came to visit the guys and have dinner with them.
Thank you so much for making time to hang out with the five adventurers.
This is definitely on the list of highlights of the trip!




Fred, Ron, Lynn, Jan, Mike, Joe, David at the Noggin Room in the Perry Hotel having dinner.  
They also shared stories and had some laughs, but that goes without saying.  Well, I said it anyway.
