Home Stretch From Trip to Woodstock Ontario

 CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE!!
Returning to the US border at Port Huron, Michigan.

 Sitting in line with the big trucks to cross the border back to USA.
 Crossing the Mackinac Bridge in the middle of the night. Raining and 40 mph winds while crossing the bridge that connects lower Michigan with the upper Michigan. 

Met this guy on the road at St. Ignas, Michigan. He was from Duluth, MN, was traveling south in his restored camper. Got to talking to him and it turns out that he was a sled dog musher for many years and we had some common acquaintances from the past.

The last of the Fall colors along Lake Michigan. As I traveled north along the lake, less and less leaves on the trees.

Road Trip to Canada Via Upper Michigan and over the Mackinac Bridge

 CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE!!
Can't miss the jet at the edge on town in Escanaba, Michigan, it is in front of the airport.
 Images from the road around the north shore of Lake Michigan. Drove about 810 miles on Saturday, 620 miles in a good fall rain storm.


 Images through the windshield of the pick-up. The water makes the fall colors and the road look like a watercolor painting.


 The Mackinac Bridge that spans Lake Michigan.
I never get tired of the drive around Lake Michigan.
Runnin' down the road with the hammer down...in the pouring rain.


Started the week with working a first aid station at the Twin City Marathon
 This was the marathon race leader at the 20 mile point.
 This was the group chasing the leader.
