        Nice poses, GLen. I suspect you arranged that for when parking lot might be empty.

          Had a task to do in Traverse City (150 miles north) today. Weather looked good (high in low 70s), so rode up there on state highways (avoided interstate).
          Afterwards, headed northwest to Glen Arbor.

          Stopped for a late lunch in GLen Arbor. Town was clogged up with tourist parking all over. Restraunts and bars with long wait time (like last time I was there a couple years ago), so got a nice big deli sandwich at a grocery store (also like last time). The grocery store had nice seating area outside where could watch the tourist drive around looking for parking, and walking around deciding where to go.

          Rode M-22 south from there and then home. THis bike has now earned it M-22 sticker.

          Was out from 1030am till 8pm, 375 miles.
          Only stopped for one roadside pic


          ANd only one off-route excursion.
          Point Bessie Lighthouse on Lake Michigan, less than a mile off of M-22.
          Had a nice visitor center, with vidio history playing. COuld buy tickets to walk into lighthouse and climb to top.
          But I just walked the grounds some and then walked down the shore a bit. Was there maybe 20 minutes.

              Sounds like a truly wonderful way to spend a day.

                  Dave, it sounds like it was a good day. Another thing I've found that is good about parks and visitor centers is.... bathrooms.

                  As far as my mural shots go, they were completely unplanned. One of the benefits of getting up at 5am on a Sunday.

                    I rode to Ocean Grove, then north thru the beach towns before the throngs of tourists and beachgoers arrived

                        Since I only live 40 miles away from the Cincinnati VA hospital, I’m helping with their network switch upgrade/refresh project for the next two weeks. And since parking there is horrendous for my truck, of course I’m going to take the most logical vehicle. So, just got home after putting in 110 miles (yes 40+40 really does equal that especially when you take the fun way down there and slab back home)

                        Since we are working from 1 to 11 during the week, 8-8 on the weekends, I might just try to find other ways down there I haven’t tried yet

                            I went to inspect a granite install at one of our offices
                            Not a long ride - but I DO like riding near dusk on a cool evening-
                            This ride took me about 10 miles outta my way - I required 75 more miles to get home

                                Great looking pair of bikes, Trevor.
                                I like the lower bars on that Honda. Might be CB400F bars?
