We made it! St. Ignace was a beautiful sight as we rode in yesterday morning around 8:20 a.m. to get ready for a day on Mackinac Island. We were also quite a sight on the island with our lime green "Bike UP 2008" t-shirts ... lots of questions and opportunities to tell the story.With the exception of one final six-bike pile-up about Mile 7 on the island (everyone survived, with the exception of a few spokes), it was an amazing end to an amazing journey. We all enjoyed a few hours of site-seeing (the Grand Hotel, horse-drawn carriages, the fort) and shopping (fudge, sweatshirts, gifts) before heading back to St. Ignace via ferry.
Today we will unload all the vehicles, clean tents, find owners for all the lost items :-) and then travel to the Siefken's cabin in northern Michigan. Tomorrow we head home to you all.
Don't forget to check with our picasaweb.google.com/bikeup2008 site in the weeks to come for new photos from Logan Shaw and Arthur Kerle, Sr. You will now find new pics from Days 11, 12 and 13 ... Robyn
