Craig, Jeff and Tim, heading out; giddy mom with the Polaroid.
Fully loaded and ready for bear...
Cruising off down the road to a month + of freedom!
Craig diving off a bridge in the lower peninsula somewhere.
Craig goofing around during the fording of the river.
Bridge out... no choice but to ford it (bypassing it would have cost us an extra 20 mi. or so)
Craig and Jeff fording the river where the bridge was out. (This is a low-res. scan, sorry)
Overlooking Lk. Michigan somewhere between Harbor Springs and Cross Village.
Craig and Tim overlooking Lk. Michigan somewhere between Harbor Springs and Cross Village.
Jeff overlooking Lk. Michigan somewhere between Harbor Springs and Cross Village.
Tim along a stretch of Hwy. 2 in the UP between St. Ignace and Cedarville, I think.
First good sighting of the Mackinac Bridge (very feintly seen in the distance).
On the ferry going over to Mackinac Island for a few days.
One of our fonder keepsakes from the island; "Fudgie Go Home" flag. Yes, we had become true islanders in our minds in 3 days!
More coastal riding along Hwy 2 in the UP.
Jeff styling on his Raleigh Super Course MkII
Taking a break under a cool tree.
Craig cruising along on his Puch.
95 degrees in the shade in the UP; THAT was a hot day! I think it was also Tim's birthday.
Craig and Jeff getting breakfast ready.
Craig by evening light.
Tim and Jeff near Sault Ste. Marie.
Quick break for some gorp.
Getting dropped off by good friends at the end of the Seney stretch (25 mi. of nothing but straight, boring roads w/ crazed UP'ers going 100 mph generally; we didn't really miss the experience; it was the only section we didn't ride, except for Lk. Michigan on the ferry!).
Getting ready to ride off after saying good-bye to our friends.
Tim's good child-hood friend Kathy.
Jeff's Super Course overlooking some lovely country.
Jeff and Craig
Testing the Lk. Superior waters
Craig taking off...
...yes, it was VERY cold!
Early morning blues
warming up...
Jeff setting up camp w/ a mosquito net on his head; very becoming.
Overlooking the Taquamenon Falls (sp?)
Craig jumping into the lower the Taquamenon Falls.
First Finnish name on a mailbox. We'd arrived in the true UP.
Hanging out at the pond in Ishpeming; that was a LONG week!
Ahhh....
Back home!
Nice to see the family and our dog Bucky.
