Today was a short ride day of about 125miles, PLUS the 400 miles we saved by taking the Lake Express across Lake Michigan from Milwaukee to Muskegon, MI. The ferry followed the old route of the C&O Railway Ferry and the Ann Arbour RR. Big difference this is a hydrofoil and it takes only 2 1/2 hours to cross the lake, vs 5 hours in the old days, but this also saved over a day of riding and we did not have to go through Chicago.
Before taking the ferry we checked out the Harley Davidson museum, this is a fantastic place, even if you don't own a Harley. They have the original Harley #1 motorcycle and some interesting ones from WWII an
d lots of police bikes as well. A very close friend of Karen and I (Sheila Gale) is writing a book of which the female character called "DOT", is riding a motorcycle, well I found "Dot's Motorcycle" in the Museum (see the photo).
