I am having a rest day in Crystal Falls to give my body a break and also to sit out some predicted stormy and thundery weather. Just South of here there have been Tornado warnings and I dont wish to be Dr Doolittle or Mary Poppins and find myself up in the clouds! At this stage I'm around 64 miles/104 Km away from the destination of Escanaba. From there I move onto a new map to take me the 153.5 miles/253.6Km to Mackinaw City. (See image. The section I'm doing is illustrated in the panels 14 to 19.)
Also with this post is evidence that I have actually crossed from Wisconsin into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
I have to say the scenery is just so special. Quiet Lakes surrounded by forest with well designed holiday cabins (large!) hidden amongst the trees on the shore line ..... with their own small piers. The road has been undulating, winding and at times has thrown up a little wall to climb. I haven't been helped on this section of the ride by fairly constant drizzle and head winds. Accommodation over the last few days has been Motels - currently assisted by the AUD and USD exchange rate as good rooms have been between $40.00 to $50.00. ...also - who wants to put up a tent in the rain!
Additional details to date:
1. Wednesday 4th June. Boulder Junction to Phelps.
64.0Km
2. Thursday 5th June. Phelps to Crystal Falls
85.4Km.
3. Friday 6th June. Rest day in Crystal Falls.
