“I went off to the right
Without saying goodbye,
Where does it go from here?
Is it down to the lake I fear?”

I made it into the Michigan border at Ironwood after exploring Ashton WI, and soon decided to make it a short day since I was about to lose another hour going into Eastern Time Zone. The town certainly has a glut of motels, a few of them have closed or are for sale, so it was a cheap place to stop.
Although I dodged all the heavy rainfall, I was still treated to this rainbow |
Not just one rainbow, but a double |
It has been cold and windy lately, with the north wind blowing chilly damp air from the lake. There have been frost warnings at night, and here and there I have seen a few leaves start to change colour. Where did the summer go?
I made good distance the next day going almost 170 km to Lake George/Michigamme — not by choice but because the place I had intended to stay in had gone out of business. I had to continue on to the next town, making it a long tiring day with the wind against my favour and some hills to climb. At one point the GPS directed me to a short cut on an old section of highway. I didn't realize it was horse-and-buggy-ancient for it had deteriorated into an unpaved road for quite a stretch.

Getting into Marquette was an easy distance from Lake George the next day, which allowed me to stop at some silly roadside attractions along the way.
Dere's da place |
This gun can actually fire a projectile |
The big lake |
Marquette has a decent lakefront bike path |
Ergo, one of the most vapid songs to come out of the 1980s
Beautiful skies
