We left the 'high crime' town of Sudbury this morning and rode on Route 17. Along the way, we met more and more bikers. We finally made it to the border to get in the US early afternoon. Dee and Beth had no problem to cross. That wasn't the case for us... We got asked a lot of questions about where/why/when and even why we weren't Americans yet! And finally got asked to part on the side for a search. Paticia's bike got searched and she had to go inside for a more complete search. Mean French woman on a Harley motorcycle!
Anyway, we got out of it, 'feeling good'.
The rest of the day was spent on the roads of Michigan, with trees on each sides, and nothing else. Northern Michigan is 'remote' for lack of a better word. A couple of play on words seen in local joints entertained us : the Hard Wok Cafe - Chinese restaurant, birdbath and beyond - no comment!
Our directions stopped 20 miles before our final destination but we finally arrived in Manistique, MI, very well located on the shores of the lake but not too lively. And we found this 'unique' burger joint where most of the riders staying here overnight gathered for a beer...
Tomorrow, last leg to Milwaukee, yipee!

Maybe the Creative Department shouldn't have called ahead to border patrol to tell them to be on the watch. :)
Glad you made it back in the country. Have a good trip on the last leg of your journey out there.
