Eastern Daylight Time

Today we covered the most miles and had the shortest riding day of the trip.  We biked about 12 miles, and we also crossed Lake Michigan on the high speed ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon.  Every day now I think of how few days remain, as I have only Michigan, Ohio, and one day in Pennsylvania before I return to the real world.

One of my favorite sites on the Milwaukee waterfront is the Art Museum, with wings that open and close.  This morning I rode down to see them open for the day.

Mural on a wall in Milwaukee's Third Ward, once a derelict area of old warehouses, and now a "happening" part of the city.

Bike flower boxes decorated several blocks of downtown Milwaukee.

Can you find the rock in the tree?  Can you tell me why it is there?  We noticed at least half a dozen similarly decorated trees in a park in Muskegon, but didn't take time to investigate the rationale.

Our support team for the last stretch of the trip includes three children.  The youngest is checking out an interesting bike rack.
