Day 1 - The Extra at the End

HOME to Munising, MI

435 Miles


When we started this quest five years ago, we were concentrating on visiting the 50 United States by motorcycle. What came after that wasn't even on our radar, or in our imaginations.


In 2014, though, we managed to visit 8 of the 13 Canadian Provinces and Territories on our way back from Alaska, so this summer we just figured we needed to visit the rest of our neighbor to the north.


So we left, bright, sunny, warm Minnesota and began our trek across Michigan's Beautiful Upper Peninsula.




Our first day's long ride gave us both a chance to breathe deeply, get reacquainted with our motorcycle riding zen space and just let the stresses of real life go. But the first day of a trip is always long and grueling, so we stopped early for the night - sore, sunburned and tired, and ready for a nice cold drink and some food.
