If you go to the Upper Peninsula, you can get Huron, Michigan and Superior al in a matter of a few hours, and check out the Soo Locks.

Wahington Island in Door County, WI is pretty. You can take the ferry over to the island. But I would head up Hwy 75 in Michigan where lower meets upper. There you could put one foot in Lake Michigan and the other foot in Lake Huron. MI riders can correct me if I'm wrong. A lot of "Bays" up there. Not sure if it would be "officially" Lake Michigan and Huron.

I could show you the entire Lake Michigan shoreline, and we could take days...but that would certainly slow down the trip. Some of my favorites are South Haven, Saugatuck, Grand Haven, Pentwater, and Petosky (on a bay). At the Mackinac Bridge, both Lakes Michigan and Huron are in sight, so that is the most convenient. Frankly, in Michigan you can pretty much throw a dart and find a good spot at a Great Lake.

Murphy, how did you go through NY ??? What did you do or see ???

If you hit Lake Superior in Duluth, MN you can stop in at Aerostich and check out all their great cycle goodies! (not open on Sundays though)then go down to the Arial Lift Bridge and eat at Grandma's.

If you are trying for all the Great Lakes, don't miss Lake St.Clair. Not officially one of the Great Lakes, but since all of the outflow from Superior,Michigan and Huron goes thru it on the way to Lake Erie it should be recognized as one of them.

Murphy Brown:

don't know how far along you are but heading north in Michigan to Sault Ste Marie gives you an opportunity to cross back into Canada and tour the topside (northern side) of Lake Superior. Pretty rugged country on the Trans Canada Highway (#17). Stay on it through Thunder Bay and cross back into the USA at International Falls.

Very pretty country and good roads (at least they were the last time we toured them).

Learn to live your life as if this is the ONLY moment you have (cause it really is!!!)..Life's experiences has brought me to where I am now (in this moment -thought you were going to catch me didn't you?)...Took me a few (like I still need them)...school of hard knocks...I learned those experiences (those that really suck..) are the ones I have learned the most about myself from....Life is meant to be embraced, shared with others and flat celebrate..
Today was a ryde to the ND border...will cross over in the a.m....So many folks ask me what it is that I enjoy the most...so today I really "worked" that one....#1 is ryding Ms Spyder..then come the awesome people I meet after that unbelievable wonder/beauty of nature...history...my grateful list that I do every a.m. is pretty long but always starts with grateful to be seeing the morning come...ok before I get all sentimental will stop for the day...got me a new kindle mystery to read....oh boy who dunits!!!
