Mackinac Island. No cars!!

Thursday Sept 22nd
Mackinac Island Michigan


Had to come here on way home. For over 100 yrs there have been no cars here (except for emergency vehicles). It is sooooo tranquil when cars are removed. But car fumes are replaced by horse manure fumes. And I do wonder about getting all that poop cleaned off the streets. They do it somehow. I will find a place in the state park to camp in the woods for the night. Pretty wooded. Should be ok.




Salad pizza for dinner. Tossed salad on a cheese pizza! Pretty good!

Earlier this week I spent a couple of days with Bacon and Meander of PCT fame (they finished last year!). Geese and chickens took over the yard! Made me rethink chickens, but I think the geese are the messy ones:). And the vegetarian meals they served so delighted my palate. Goat cheese and beet pizza! Marinated tofu! Salads using fresh local veggies! The rumors are true: Bacon and Meander can cook!! Great team in the kitchen.

From here I'm headin across the north shore of Lake Ontario to the Adirondaks to visit Fuat (remember him from Oregon?). Sadly he shipped his bike via USPS and only the label made it home. How do you lose a large, plastic, belted bike box with a return address on it? Our govt has managed to. They say they can't find it anywhere. I feel so bad. He seems to be taking it in stride.

Then on home later next week unless I stay away until the ALDHA meeting in Oct. I have options!
