It was actually cool when I left the "Way Back In" campground this morning. It stayed relatively cool until about noon but eventually reached about 28C (82F). Unfortunately, I had fairly consistant headwinds the whole way so my pace was slow and it was really draining.
I passed a meat processing place that had these "sculptures" next to it.
Along the way, I passed the Michigan International Speedway. It hadn't occurred to me that the trip might intersect with NASCAR racing. It would have been fun to see a race.
We also saw a lot of abandoned roadside attractions. The area is obviously not doing as well as the Wisconsin Dells.
I also saw VanGo's long lost cousin, a customized convertible VW Bus for sale along side of the road.
We stopped for lunch in Saline, Michigan where Rochelle made yet another wonderful salad and got my batteries recharged as much as possible before heading out again.
I finally made it into our campsite for the night, the Wayne County Fairgrounds. Fighting the wind all day so wore me out that I laid down in the back of VanGo and slept for about an hour before dinner.
Tomorrow is a short day as I ride across the Detroit area to drop in on Rochelle's brother and his wife and kids.
