Since the offsite campsite was full up, I decided to use the lightweight Liberte bike and I debated between the slick tires and the original. I decided to use the original (fatter than the slicks) and glad I did because some of the roads and trails had sand. these tires were just right.
the ground at Empire was easier than it looks on the feet and I normally went barefoot.
as usual, Arts hot wings let me down. I asked if they had any tabasco, but they only had Franks... Northern Michigan.
no fuel at Empire but hop over to Frankfort for some.
probably the best value trip I have had, low cost, and Northern Michigan drivers really treat bikes well.
found a great place to do paddle boarding. my wife is ready to go next time to give it a try.
seems that I climbed to 38K ft without knowing.
