Day 42

Crystal Falls,MI - Escanaba,MI (76 miles)

Today we had a slow start. We slept in until 7:30 (that's an hour and a half after sunrise folks, so that's an accomplishment). Then we putzed around, packed up our things, and put together a makeshift breakfast with all our "leftovers" (handful of sunflower seeds, some crackers, a bun with peanutbutter, a dry ramen noodles pack, and a cup of honey nut cheerios). Food has become harder and harder to find. This morning we realized that the last time we had seen a legit grocery was in Cumberland,WI - that's 330 miles ago! We have had nothing but gas stations since then.

Once we got on the road the miles seemed to fly by. Maybe it was the wind at our backs and the smooth asphalt. More likely it was the anticipation of seeing friends!

Jesse, Matthew, and Samantha, three of our good friends from Milwaukee decided to meet us in Escanaba! They lovingly involved us in their vacation plans. Upon arriving at the camp site we were met with hugs and bowls of freshly made food. The next day or two are going to be awesome!!!
