We’re currently in upstate New York, where we entered the Adirondack mountain range yesterday. As we attempted to depart this morning, Bob’s truck failed to start. We attempted to jumpstart it, but ended up having to call AAA. They towed his truck to the nearest town, Old Forge, and Bob replaced the battery. We’re cautiously optimistic that that was all it needed, and he is currently headed back to camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Sammy and I wait for him, I’ll catch up on our progress here. After the ferry across Lake Michigan, I biked up north to Ludington, which seemed like a popular place for locals to vacation. It has a nice beach on the coast of Lake Michigan. Then we traveled east for a few days, mostly on rail trails. My bike routes are normally through quite rural areas, and that was very true in Michigan. It was fairly non eventful, as we were focused on getting ourselves and Sammy through immigration into Canada for our next leg. Bob got all of the necessary paperwork, and we were able to cross in easily, though he still makes fun of me for saying “cutting stuff” when the Canadian border guard asked what our camping knives were for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Canada we traveled along the northern coast of lake Erie (great lake #3 on this trip, for those keeping score at home). It continued to be mostly farmland on that side of the border as well. But the coastal highways made for some great low-stop cycling, which gave me a good opportunity for breaking my 100 mile PR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
