Last day in Michigan, Ontario tomorrow

We've travelled 950 some miles since we left home 15 days ago. We went off the Adventure Cycling Route to take hwy 23 South along the east coast of Mich bordering Lake Huron. We are glad we did that. It was beautiful route. We stayed in two nice State Parks along the shore. Last night we got to Mayville, it started to rain! We were tired and chilled; we went into the store and asked if there was anyplace to stay around town. People directed us 10 miles back, the way we came or 20 miles out of our way. On a bike that's a long way. One of the store workers, Hannah, felt sorry for us and came back and told us she had an empty apt. she could let us stay in. She took her lunch break to open it up for us. It was under renovation and kind of dirty, but it was warm and dry. Another trail angel!
We are headed for St. Claire or Marine City tonight. We will take the ferry across the St. Claire River into Ontario tomorrow morning. We can stay at Ken and Patty's tomorrow night...people Doug and the guys met last year on the ride.
We are feeling good, no bike problems, just cruising along!
