Wolf Park was closed...

...so I went to Michigan instead. The park was closed when I got there and was going to be closed the next day as well. It's no big deal though because I will get to go September 15th on my way to Indianapolis. The 15th is a Friday which will be a better day to go anyway because on Friday and Saturday nights visitors can go out and howl with the wolves. That sounds pretty cool to me. So now I am in Michigan. I am staying at a county park called Pioneer Park right on Lake Michigan. It is in Muskegon county. I was there last night and will stay tonight, then I go north to a state park that I can't remember the name of. The park I am in now is very nice. It has a beautiful beach seperated from the park by a huge dune. Sunset last night was quite pretty and I'm sure tonights will be as well. My phone and air card don't work out in the park but I rode my bike into town to mail the application out today and brought the laptop along in the hopes I would be able to post an update. Gald I did. I was talking to a ranger this morning and asking where a store was I could buy an envelope and get a picture developed etc. I told her I was going to ride my bike and so she gave me directions. I asked how far and she said "not far, just up the road a bit". Well about seven miles later here I am so I guess I know what "a bit" is to a Michiganer. It was a nice ride though and I was planning on getting some exercise today so it's all good. Well I'm going to go and enjoy the rest of a gorgeous day. As I keep going north I don't know how long I will still have coverage so I may disappear for a bit, but I plan on making my way around the top of the state and going over into Wisconsin next week. I will update as I can and hopefully have some great pictures as well. Take care for now, Jim
