Friday June 4



Today, Doug rode to Ludington MI, where he will catch a ferry across the lake to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. He enjoyed breakfast at McDonald's this morning.
His email:
Got to Ludington around 1:30; rode in rain last 25 miles. 50 miles today, 14.8 mph avg. - had a slight tailwind, pretty good roads, and desire to get to Wisconsin. Had cheese and asparagus soup for lunch; mmm. Michigan is the asparagus capitol, according to Carol. The place I was going to stay doesn't allow bikes in the room. The clerk helped me find another room that does. Small, clean and only $43. No wifi here but can receive it from the B&B across the street. The owner gave me rags to clean bike; nice lady. Used the opportunity to clean and lube.
(He is now warm and dry and having roast beef, asparagus, salad and a beer in a decent restaurant.)

Got my boat ticket, $80, am ready to go. Goodbye Michigan and hopefully rain.
