Well, we went from one extreme to the other today: from a little town in the fields of ON to a busy suburban area in MI. We woke up at our camp spot in Bothwell, ON quite early since we heard thunder and Joe saw lightning. We packed up our and rode down the road a little to find a covered place with a picnic table to make breakfast in case it rained. After riding for only about a half a mile, we found a picnic table under an overhang at the school, which worked out well since the students were on spring recess. We made some oatmeal and prayed that the storm didn't come our way. Turns out that we lucked out again today with weather. We somehow missed all of the storms that were around us. However, there was one time that the wind would carry scattered rain drops across the fields to where we were. We rode for about 30 miles through nothing but fields and ity bity little towns that only had one or two buildings in them. When we finally reached Sombre we boarded the ferry to go back into the US. Once we got off in Marine City we went through customs, which we again didn't have any problem getting through. We decided to go out for lunch since we hadn't seen many restaurants or more populated areas in a while. We went to a local diner and the food was delicious! Before we rode out of town, we stopped at the library real quick. Joey ended up finding a Warm Showers host that was available to host us. Being very excited, we hit the road again. We saw a sign at the bank in Marine City that said 71degrees... what an amazing winter! Joe even mentioned earlier today "what are the odds that Dad suggested we go on the trip earlier and we get a winter as wonderful as this?" We cannot be more thankful for this beautiful sunny weather! As we were ridng, we noticed that there are a lot of dirt roads in the area of Michigan that we were riding through. We ended up riding for about 20 miles on these roads. We were confused at first because there are a lot of really nice houses along all the roads we went down; back in NY most of the dirt roads we had seen didn't have much on them. After riding for about 72 miles, we made it to our warm showers host in Shelby. We enjoyed nice hot showers, a chance to wash our clothes, a very tasty meal, and a bowl of ice cream to top it off. It is always so fun to have conversation with our hosts about tours they have done. Before bed, we watched the news and learned that there have been a few little tornados in a couple places in Michigan today. Good thing we were able to be in a warm showers tonight since there are supposed to be thunderstorms in the area tonight. The good news is that the weather looks great for the next few days!
