I’m not a particularly spontaneous fella, and I like to plan things out carefully on a trip like this, but I try to keep my mind open and stay flexible. And I think I’m changing the itinerary.
The main thing that got me thinking about it was the weather forecast for the last night/day of the trip, showing almost-certain rain. Bleh. So I considered whether I could finish either half a day or a full day sooner. (The ferry runs at roughly 12-hour intervals, so that’s my constraint.)
Also, I’m feeling like I’ve accomplished most of what I set out to do. For example, I’m already maybe a couple hours from finishing my circumnavigation of Lake Michigan. I still want to tour Door Peninsula, but I can get that done in two days rather than three.
So I think I’m going to skip the last night’s camping and instead rearrange my route a little to end up in Manitowoc that night, and take the Badger back a night earlier.
And since I have nothing better to show a picture of at the moment, here’s my scooter and tent:
It’s I, MOM. Nice picture. Hope you get back before the rain. Good change of plans and a restful weekend at home.
