Day 38 - July 17th

Travelled from Omro, Wisconsin to Clare, Michigan
We only had to ride for about 1.5 hrs this morning to catch the S.S. Badger Ferry in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. We missed one turn and headed out of town but soon realized we were going the wrong way and turned around, finding the ferry with no problem. The ride was 4 hrs, however we lost an hour during the trip and are now back in eastern time zone. We crossed Lake Michigan and arrived in Ludington, Michigan around 7pm and decided to ride for a few hours to shorten our ride tomorrow as they are calling for some rain. We arrived in Clare, Michigan around 9pm and although it was still light out decided to call it a night. We really don’t like riding in the evening and especially when it is dark out due to the wildlife that like to venture onto the road during these hours. We checked into a Days Inn then headed over to the Ponderosa for supper which had a huge buffet with every goodie you could imagine!! We toasted our last night together. We really missed not having Will and Andrea here to toast with us!! Tomorrow we will ride home. A bitter sweet day as we hate to see the trip end, yet we are anxious to see our families, friends and kitties!!!
