Back from the Northern Peninsula

We just returned from a family reunion up north and it was great. We spent way too much money and ate way too much good food, but seeing family again was worth it. My daughter and I rode our bikes up, leaving two days earlier than the rest of the family in the van. We rode about 155 miles to the town of Sturgeon Bay, WI where we finally found the local Wal-Mart and called my husband up at the hotel to come and get us. This is the second time my daughter and I have done this ride, though the first time we took six days to do it and wound our way further up the peninsula. Because of my summer job we had to cram the ride into three days, but it worked. The last day was spent almost entirely on the Ahnapee State Bike Trail and it was lovely. On over 30 miles of trail we met only one other cyclist. Hopefully more folks use these trails on weekends because that was a little disturbing, not seeing this wonderful state asset being taken advantage of, but in a selfish way it was so peaceful for us to have it to ourselves. Two photos are above and more will probably follow.
