Day 39 Birch Run MI to Port Huron MI

Day 39
It's the dawn of another flawless day in Michigan! Cooler this morning, probably in the 60's. We have 87 miles to do so it's a 6 am breakfast and 7:30 load and we're off. The first SAG is at an artesian spring. The water runs 24/7. Some riders preferred the town water but I liked the artesian stuff. And then the small hamlet of Millington...a bit bigger than our Millington and this one has its own zip code.


Wisconsin planted these purple flowers along a lot of their roadways and I noticed this stretch of Michigan did the same. Not sure what they are but they are prolific...and pretty...

A lot of corn and soybean fields have signs indicating the type of seeds used in the fields and they are marked like ths field. This practice was noted in Minnesota and Wisconsin as well.

Ah, I'm so glad that once again that the brown stuff was adequately marked so as to preclude an inadvertant step in it...ah, humor...and here's the state highway department of Michigan doing their fine work identifying hazards for us...apparently there is a need...only in Michigan...


I wasn't sure what a Hogrun was, like maybe some local event with pigs? But no, it was for Harley riders...


And finally we spied Lake Huron off to the east of us. Really beautiful blue water...someone said it was the sand bottom that gave it the color...and the bridge over the canal...Tomorrow morning we ride over it...
