Circling Lake Superior--Final Entry

Travelers in 1973

Travelers in 2012

Saturday, Sept. 15: We got home without incident and jumped right back into our routines of laundry, lawn care, gardening, socializing, etc. Sadly, MSU was soundly beaten, 20-3, by Notre Dame in a night game at Spartan Stadium. We had a nice harvest waiting for us of 1 pound of green beans, 1¼ of cucumbers, ½ pound of red bell peppers, 1 pound of broccoli, and 4 kinds of tomatoes. We had driven 2072 miles and the new Ford 150 truck with Ecoboost got over 16.3mpg, pulling the trailer and all our gear, with two kayaks strapped on top. I rode my bike for 2 hours & 44 minutes or around 30 miles. It’s hard to know how far we hiked, since it was a combination of kilometers and miles but we lost a little bit of weight so it was enough to offset our nightly Happy Hours, anyway. All in all, it was another very successful trip!
