Checking in from Au Sable after a refreshing swim and a little downtime in the shade.

Two shots here from my campsite outside of Pinconning this morning. This was  another spot I had to work for, riding a couple miles of single track before pushing the last sandy hundred yards.

Yesterday I discovered I could resize photos on my phone after importing them from my camera. So I decided to shoot only in high resolution today. Now I'm only able to resize these two. Hmph. I wish I could share more of this morning's spectacular sunrise!

Feeling refreshed now and heading north again. I may stay near Greenbush, or push on up near Black River.

Pedaling away, Jim

The Three Refuges in Sino-Korean

I'm safe and sound at Negwegon State Park. My hammock is hung in a beautiful, remote backcountry site just of the pristine, sand beach. I have the place to myself.

After 102 miles, I rode the 2.5 miles of Sand Hill Trail that leads to the park entrance. The gravel park road is then over a mile long.

After riding those two roads out first thing tomorrow, I will be warmed up early for my ride to Cheboygan.

I think I'll take the last ferry to Bob-Lo tomorrow, then take a relaxing day at the tip of the Mitten on Sunday while I decide if I want to make a foray over the bridge next week.

Thank you, Tom for the generous offer of your cabin near Greenbush tonight. It was awful tempting as I rolled past at 6:30, but I just wasn't ready to stop!

Sweet dreams, Jim
