Wakefield, MI to Ontonagon, MI 60.1 miles

I broke camp and had decided to take the advice of a woman I was talking to in Ironwood yesterday, her advice was to go (out of my way) to the Porcupine Wilderness State park. She had just hiked and camped there and said it was fabulous. I called the park office before I left because online there was mention of the road through the park being washed out a year ago. The road was good. Then I asked the ranger on the phone what I should try to see coming through the park on a bike. She said the Presque Isle River waterfall hike was a short hike and offered amazing views of many waterfalls. So that’s what I did. The falls were amazing and fairly close together giving me a high enjoyment/time off the bike ratio. Which is what you want on a bike tour.

I spent the night at the home of a Warmshowers Host in Ontonagon, his name was James. He fed me home made Pizza and parsnip cake. We talked of travel and books over tea. Thanks James.
