JUST AS THE UPPER PENINSULA DID, THE LOWER PENINSULA REMINDED US THAT FALL IS FAST APPROACHING.
HERE'S THE FIRST HINT.


EVEN ON THIS CLOUDY OVERCAST MORNING, ROUTE 119 IS A VERY PRETTY DRIVE. NOTE THAT THE ROAD IS NOT
WIDE ENOUGH TO PAINT A CENTER STRIPE. "NARROW ROAD NEXT 19 MILES" WAS POSTED WHEN WE FIRST GOT
ON THIS SECTION.


ANOTHER VIEW OF MICHIGAN'S NORTH FROM ROUTE 119


AND ANOTHER OF THE BAY FROM ROUTE 119

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE MOVIE "STAND BY ME"? THESE TWO CAME PEDDLING UP TO THE GAS STATION
WHILE WE WERE THERE. WHEN BOB AND I WERE IN LINE TO PAY, THE BLOND YOUNG FELLOW WAS ASKING
THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT IF SHE HAD AN ALLEN WRENCH. THEY WERE TOO BUSY SO BOB AND I OPENED UP
A BICYCLE REPAIR SHOP, AND I GOT TO BE "BICYCLE REPAIRMAN" YOU KNOW, HUM THE SUPERMAN THEME FOR
BACKGROUND MUSIC. IT'S OK, GO AHEAD.  HE WAS HAPPY WHEN HE LEFT. AND I ONLY CHARGED HIM ALL HIS
LOOSE CHANGE. (DON'T WRITE, I WAS ONLY KIDDING)


HARBOR SPRINGS DOWN TOWN AREA. VERY NEAT LITTLE VILLAGE


HARBOR SPRINGS HARBOR. THE OVERCAST DAY DID LITTLE TO DAMPEN THE SPRIT OF THE PLACE. IT IS STILL
AN APPEALNG AREA


MICHIGAN SUNFLOWERS. IT WAS REALLY COOL TO SEE THIS SPLASH OF YELLOW, AND OTHER SIMILAR FIELDS
GO SWOOSHNG BY AS WE HEADED FOR MACINAW CITY


BOB PERRY AND MARK LOGSDON ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE MACKINAC BRIDGE. IT CAUSED A SPECIAL FEELING
TO SEE THAT MASSIVE STRUCTURE, HAVING BEEN AT BOTH TERMINI OF THE BRIDGE AND NOT USING IT, DURING
THE TRIP. I AM HAPPY THAT BOB CHOSE TO COMPLETE THIS JOURNEY WITH ME. THE COMPANY HAS BEEN AN
ADDED BONUS.
