Michigan - Another State Checked Off

I don't really have too much to say about today, but overall it was a good day. My cue sheet ended up being really good and we ended up being on really smooth and quiet back roads where we could all ride next to each other and play games and talk. That was a lot of fun and made the ride seem even shorter than it was. We also experienced some tail winds where we were able to average about 23 mph in for a while. Lunch today was in a little field of the side of the road. I had a tuna sandwhich and couldn't have been more happy. I owe a thank you to the Van Horns for providing lunch and snacks for us that lasted a couple days. As we continued our ride we had not passed much except for corn fields and farms, until we hit this little playground on the side of the road. Of course we stopped and played. It was quite a sight to see 8 adults in biking gear going up and down on the see-saws. Nick had also found a large purple kick ball near the park, so Theo and I decided to take turns carring it into Michigan and to our host sight in Camden, MI. The hosts in Camden were so energetic. They had food waiting for us as we got there, called the local newspaper, and spoke of us on the radio the day before. They were really excited to have us and we appreciated it as we hung out and talked with them more than we normally do with hosts. I just hope we conitinue to get hosts this great in the future.
