9:20 departure - 218 miles south. A quick stop at the Soo (sioux) Locks - to view a ship carrying Iron Ore drop 21 feet between St. Marys River and Lake Huron (?). Donning our rain gear in downtown Saulte Ste. Marie - heading south back across the Macinac Bridge and a quick stop for a Pastie (local favorite).
Finally finding some roads that actually had a few turns - Route 119 - along the coast of Lake Michigan through the Tunnel of Trees (see pix below) - and a quick stop for a little RE work in Harbor Springs - heading south again via Petosky and Charlevoix. We landed for the night at the Motel 6 in Traverse City - where we ended up with a fabulous meal from the Hills Market Wanna-be two doors down. The beer is cold, the vodka is yummie and the bed is calling my name tonight.
