Next day I cross in to the states at the International Peace Garden. Arriving there at 3:30 the lady is about to close up. She says come back late July, or early August. They just started planting that day and not much to see yet. So it's over the border, where I get asked what I do for a living. That's a tough question these days! 50 miles south gets me to Rugby, ND where there is nothing to report.
At this point I have abandoned my carefully made gps routing. I smell the barn, and it's interstate to home. But only after crossing the Mackinac Bridge. Riding the UP is really pretty, but no pictures. You need to go there yourself. I recommend you stay at the Lakeshore Motel in Iron River, MI. Great spot right on the lake, but no food in walking distance. I stopped at Subway on the way in and had my supper in the left blue chair. Really nice.
Next morning it was3-1/2 hours to the bridge:
And that's the end of the fun. It was down I-75 (posted at 75 mph) and 1185 mile to get home in two days.
Final word: If you are going to the Canadian Rockies don't do it before early July. They have big winters up there!
Thanks for watching :-)
