Bayfield, Wisconsin - Updated Aug 29

Day 5- 1615 km.
Our bums, backs, knees and legs are starting to shape to the motorcycle. We had a very scenic drive yesterday, especially through the Porcupine State Park in the Michigan Upper Peninsula where we took a walk to see some dramatic waterfalls and had a picnic lunch with a beautiful view overlooking Lake Superior, where we walked along the sandy shore.
We stayed in a beautiful resort across with a view of Madeline Island (part of the Apostle Islands) in Bayfield which is a quaint high end town facing east on Lake Superior and busy with tourists. Tonight, we are planning to be in Minnesota, near to the border.
hope to post pictures soon.

  1. Oh, I'm so envious of the sights you're seeing, though not so envious of the opportunity to mold my body to a motorcycle.
