Eddie and I said thank you and fairwell to Pavan and got on the road. Yesterday we wanted to go swimming in a lake and we rode to a State Park on Cass Lake because they had a swimming beach. Unfortunately it was closed because of high E. coli levels. Today we were determined to try again and we called ahead to the town of Lake Orion who runs a swimming beach on Lake Orion. They were open and we were able to take a swim.
Eddie had us on some trails again today. The first two, the Clinton River trail and the Paint Creek trail were mostly unpaved but in excellent shape. The third trail we picked up, the Polly Ann trail started good but got more rough the farther we went. Eventually we gave up and took to the roads. Eddie had a cousin in the area we were riding so we made a quick stop to say hello.
The forecast was starting to look like it might be thunderstorms before we got to Port Huron but somehow, even though there were many thunderstorms popping up all around we never got hit directly and only received some light showers before we arrived at Bonnie’s, our Warmshowers host’s, home in Port Huron. Bonnie was yet another splendid human who is a Warmshowers host, there must be some kind of connection there. She shared her beautiful home, excellent food, local knowledge and marvelous stories of past adventures. Thank you Bonnie.
Slow and Steady
