Day 3. About 80 miles from Holland to Elberta Beach. Had my first
guerilla camping experience on an amazing beach. Stopped in
Ludington to mail a few extra things home. As is the typical case I
brought too much.

Day 4. Frankfort to Traverse City with a stop at sleeping bear dunes.
Tons of hills and climbing. Only 70 miles but felt like mug more. It
poured on us in the morning soaking the clothes we had laid out to dry
and the tent. We stopped at a hotel to wash clothes and sleep in a
normal bed in Traverse City. There was a Honda Goldwing convention at
the hotel. Lots of bikers.

Day 6. 85 miles from Traverse City to Petoskey state park. More hills
but not as bad as yesterday. Tough first half of the day but it got
better when we finished up on a trail and I had a chance to talk to
some people back home including Sarah.

Tomorrow is Mackinaw City and the island and then up into the UP.
