It is not a detour if you do not have a plan

That was our philosophy when we were deciding how to get out of
Michigan. So where are we? Excellent question! No exact answer except
we decided to take the really super long way and head north up thru MI
and then across the Upper Peninsula. Adds about 600 miles to our trip!
All part of the plan to not have a plan. We stopped in Saugatuck and
took the chain ferry across the river. Saw the big red lighthouse near
Holland. Had lunch with Barb and Nelda who are two lovely women in
their 60s who have been biking together for 20 years or so! They
helped us find the bike path the Grand Haven too. We got detailed
directions from a retired UPS driver to navigate thru Muskegon. They
were perfect! Perhaps more notable is that we actually followed them
for once! Heading inland now. Biked several miles on dirt roads today
and finally flagged down a truck to ask where the nearest paved road
to anywhere was. That is a direct quote! No worries! We always have
food and water so the isolated places are fun to explore.
