Our bike ride today took us along the Pere Marquette Rail Trail for about 30 miles of our day. This paved trail is absolutely deluxe, with bathroom/rest areas that even have air stations to pump up tires. The trail originated in Midland Michigan, the home of Dow Chemical, and one of the top 10 towns in the US in which to raise a family. In the afternoon it started to get hot, but it wasn’t intolerable. We are stopping for the night in Bay City Michigan. Once again we are in a place that claims to be the true origin of a historic logger who inspired the mythical Paul Bunyan.
