Vacation Day One

Our day started out early as Brendan was up at 6am.  I got up as I was having problems sleeping.  I started some coffee, Brendan and MacKenzie headed out fishing.

I left the cabin shortly after 8am with a list and was headed back home.  I returned around 10:30am and then ended up with this.
 
The Goose is back together.
 
I had all the parts at home that I needed to put the Goose back together.  I also picked up some supplies that we needed.
Michelle headed out to Meijer then to get the rest of the supplies for Church Camp and I took the bike out for a ride. I got a good 13 mile ride in.  A storm came through in the middle of the afternoon and I ended up catching a short nap before supper.
 
Michelle's parents came out and we had a very nice meal and spent some time with them.

 The happy Newlyweds!

The Goose family returned during the storm.
 
We had some severe storms after dark and our pop broke.  We will be making a trip to Menards to see if they will replace the top. 
 
The campers arrive today. It can only get better.

Summer Vacation: Day 10, Heading Home.

Sunday would be a long day of travel as we would make the trek home in one day.  Still shorter than driving from Marquette. We had breakfast and started to pack up.  I had put the bikes on the van Saturday evening while the grill was heating up and loaded a few things up.  We managed to get on the around just a few minutes after 12:00pm.   Michelle would take the first leg of the drive at the wheel of the van and I would rest.  We made a stop at a rest area in Manistique and I took a few photos. A lighthouse for Michelle.  A mouse in a tuxedo! We got back on the road and stopped at another rest area.   Very cool! Brendan made a friend. The were not to bad. Our next stop would be St. Ignace.  We wanted to eat at Clyde's Drive In.  However, after arriving the place was packed.  So we went to B.C. Pizza again.  After lunch we made our way to Castle Rock as we were not able to climb it on o...

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...
