Paradise to Newberry, MI

Another beautiful day in the Upper Peninsula but much windier than yesterday up to 20 mph SSW. Among the trees it wasn't too bad but once we headed south it was tough. We started our day with the first stop at the lower falls and the next stop 5 miles up the road to the upper falls of Tahquamanon falls. We met some wonderful folks at the falls. One mom and 15 year old daughter were very excited about our trip and hope to do something like this themselves Another older couple chatted up a storm while we took pictures for each other. Continuing west was a little bakery that only bake sourdour bread located in the middle of nowhere on our route. Of course we had to stop and get some. It will be lunch tomorrow. Newberry is only 13 miles from the bakery, the longest 13 miles for me. There were 6 logging trucks that went by and didn't give us much room. The headwind was hot, the air was dusty. I was happy to maintain 9-10 mph. We were planning on camping but the clouds were getting thick and gray and the weather tonight is in the 60's so we went to the Comfort Inn. Our sleeping bags are for the 40's and lower. Checking the weather for tomorrow as we head west then north the wind is to shift to the NNW. Oh well all part of the adventure.
