Biking Across the U.S (hopefully)
Toledo - Hillsdale 74
Crossed into Michigan early in the morning and... farms, farms, and more farms. If this is what this part of the Midwest is like, I'm terrified of what happens past Lake Michigan. Better make sure I have some good podcasts/book on tape handy. I stopped in at a coffee shop and asked the woman's advice on which route to take. Looking at the map she said "oh, if you go that way there are lakes. Always go to the lakes." I went towards the lakes. After a pitstop at a used book store specializing in the Wiccan, mysticism, and occult genera (no joke, but I did find a Steinbeck I haven't read) I ended up in a campsite outside of Hillsdale, MI. Apparently there was a 'do not drink' ban placed on water, but my lovely camp neighbors gave me a couple bottles of water. It's hard to convey sarcasm on this, but they were a little terrifying... and I'd already drank a water bottle full of it. But I got my bike cleaned and greased down, so there's that!

Hello, I have been enjoying reading about your trip. I am jealous I cannot be on a big adventure like yours this summer; too much school work to do for next year. Enjoy your ride, stay safe and continue to share trail thoughts and photos.
