Another hot and muggy day in Michigan, but at least we re-grouped to
a certain extent. We are now down to two groups instead of four.
Bonnie, Ken, Martin and myself made it to St. Johns City, while Gail
and Susie opted to stay overnight in Ionia.

We are a day and half from crossing the Canadian border, and I hope
to re-group before then. The biggest difference between the Michigan
country side and the other states we have crossed has to be the
trees. There are not just more woods, but they are thicker. I guess
all that humidity is good for something.

There have been scattered thundershowers through out the region, but
I managed not to get to the motel before one drop fell. Ken ran into
light rain, while Bonnie and Martin got wet. Gail and Susie were at
their motel just before it started to pour.

The rest of the group is looking forward to crossing over into
Canada because they believe it will be cooler. I have chosen not to
enlighten them.

By the days end I have cycled 2,617 miles and climbed 105,069 feet.
