Today we did a short day into Grand Rapids. We were able to take the trail all the way into the city, and in the last 15 miles I was amazed at how many people were out using it, considering it was Monday (I counted 84 people on bikes and there where just as many people walking).
Grand Rapids is a neat place. The Grand River runs right through the city, there are parks all along it. Plus, once we were down town we were able to take care of everything we wanted to do within a few blocks (laundry, post office, bike shop, Thai food, library).
On Thursday evening we had met Theresa and Rick in Petoskey and camped with them. They live in Grand Rapids and had offered to house us if we road through. It is hard to tell sometimes if people are serious when they say you can stay with them, but we took a chance and called them, and they said of course! AND they were willing to let Sara stay too. Yes, that's right, Sara caught up with us! So we spent another wonderful evening with them.
Tomorrow we will get back on the ACA route and continue on our way.
