Porcupine Mts. State Park to Baraga State Park - 59 miles
It was a hot one today! 86 degrees and nothing but sun. The wind cooperated pretty well today. It was largely from the southwest which gave a bit of a push. I’m definitely glad I had it though because there were many hills to conquer today.
I ate at The Pit Stop in Greenland (the village not the country). A side note – I’ve noticed many Finland flags up here in the UP. Finns must like it here. Finland… maybe a future bike tour?
Another long expanse of trees on each side of the road and rolling hills continued for about 30 miles. About 15 miles from Baraga, I came across a small village with a handful of houses. If there was a store or gas station, a stop was definite. Thankfully there was one.
I didn’t think it was open at first, but this little convenience store did the trick. I first had to find the shelves with stuff on them - much of the supplies were depleted. I ended up finding a nice, cool fruit drink that I purchased and drank in the shade.
Not much else exciting until I ate at the Baraga drive-in. The roast beef sandwich was awesome, topped off with a chocolate malt. The server was very nice as she seemed pretty surprised at what I was doing (but granted, there aren’t many people who aren’t surprised). I started talking with a guy next to me and found that he just got back from working at the VA hospital in St. Cloud, only a few miles from where I live!
About 1/4 mile up the road from the drive-in, Baraga State Park became my home for the night.
Always a good day for fishing.
A snake by the showers!
