Lake Charlevoix

Today was a relaxing day.  This morning we rode into a small town called Petoskey to drop Linda off so she could pick up her car.  Then we headed to an auto parts store to purchase a headlight bulb for my bike.  Upon returning back to the Lake House we headed out to Boyne City where Cherif and Linda have their boat at the docks.  What a boat - we certainly don't see any of these boats on the Muskrat Lake!  It has two bedrooms, a kitchen and an upper deck where the skipper navigates the boat.

The wind was a bit on the strong side so we stayed within Lake Charlevoix taking a cruise all along the shore which was very relaxing.  The beautiful homes that are on this Lake are truly amazing.

We went to a quaint little restaurant in Boyne City for a late lunch and then headed back to the Lake House for a very relaxing afternoon.  Take-out pizza was the order for supper and we relaxed and watched the movie "No Country for Old Men" - very interesting and a bit quirky!

Another great adventure with these two great American guys!  I can't believe that we are still riding each summer together - I hope it continues for many years to come as besides my Uncle Ron they are great to ride along with!

All of us said our good-byes tonight as both Miles and I are heading out in the morning as each of us wakes up.  I pretty sure he will be long gone before me!  He is heading back down to Port Huron and crossing at Sarnia and then again at the Falls back into the US and I am crossing up north at Sault Ste. Marie and heading down the dreaded Hwy 17.  I hope to get home tomorrow night to enjoy the rest of my week around home.  It will be approximately 10 to 12 hour bike ride but whose counting!!

Thank you again to my hosts Cherif and Linda for making this Canadian girl feel right at home!  And thanks again to Miles for being the in-house mechanic - you never have to ask if he needs help because it is usually done before you even think about it.  Thanks again guys for another wonderful adventure!
