We ended up getting off 75 north of Saginaw and took 23 the rest of the way up. We got to the bridge last night around 7. Riding on that grating is a unique feeling but I still loved it. Bridges always peek my interest.

Today we’re going north to pick up H58 and ride it over to Munising. Then south to Green Bay and eventually Milwaukee. We’re taking the lake express over Sunday afternoon.

Also, had some KILLER whitefish at the hotel restaurant. It was like a steak, but fish lol.

Make sure you get some Murdicks Fudge and ice cream before you leave the area... both are worth the trip

Nice! If you travel through Marinette WI around lunch or dinner stop in at my favorite old time burger joint - Mickey Lou's BBQ. It's right on the main drag on the left heading south. It hasn't changed since the 50s.

If you need any Milwaukee intel let me know.

Munising has construction, new roundabout at intersection of 58 and M-28. Short delay, but not too bad.

Well it’s been very wet. 58 is a hell of a road, I just wish I could have rode it like I wanted to lol

Also for future reference 58 coming out of deer park isn’t paved..... that was a white knuckle ride in the rain 😂

Speaking of motel rooms, we stopped in Mackinaw City for a room. We were told we got the last room. When my wife opened the last room door there were a set of feet hanging off the bed. We quietly closed the door and told front desk the room was occupied. The gal behind the counter said she had another last room. It was a chain. A lot of summer weekends there may not be a room in the north.
