We are now in Michigan and the Eastern time zone. It was a beautiful ride, mostly along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The route took us through Michigan City, IN, and along the lakeshore there. There were many beautiful homes along the beach. We went through New Buffalo, MI also on the lakeshore and then St. Joseph as well. It was a beautiful sunny day and the lake looked such a pretty blue.
The route into South Haven took us right to the beach area and through the beach parking lot, and then to the edge of the downtown area. We are camped at Baseline Middle School on the north side of town. Julie and I plan a quick trip to Sherman’s to get an ice cream cone after dinner tonight.
We have someone coming to our peleton meeting to tell us about the plans for this weekend at GR. Tomorrow night, some of our kids and grandkids are coming to the Conference Grounds to join us for dinner there.
It was 80 miles today and the last hour we had a NE head wind. I arrived to camp at about 2:15 Michigan time. The next couple days are much shorter miles. That will seem good. It will be fun winding our way through Holland tomorrow to give the riders a look at our home area.
Our friends, Vern and Diane, totally surprised us tonight and stopped at our camp and took us out to dinner. What a treat!!
Love to all, P & J.

HI Pete & Julie, Welcome Home to West Michigan! I rode along part of your route Friday afternoon and it was so fun watching all the folks lined up to wave you home! There were lots of bikers on the road that looked a lot alike but not sure if I saw you or not-- but waved to many of your group just in case... if they are wondering who the silly lady was in a gray car, that was me. Anyways, love and prayers, Lil
