Another great weather day! When I left Ludington I went north on US-31 and just after Manistee I turned onto M-22 which follows the coast of the peninsula and past some very large lakes. The terrain was lots of hills and the farms were growing corn and apples. There were lots of summer homes on the lakes and the vehicles had plates from all over the USA. The coast side is all sand dunes. The highway loops all around the peninsula and brought me back to US-31 at Traverse City. This is a very popular summer vacation spot and the beaches there were crowded. The streets were as well and it took me quite a while to get through this area. US-31 follows the coast of Traverse Bay and then turns toward the east and connects to I-75 at the Mackinac Bridge. I crossed the bridge, paid my toll and turned onto US-2 for the trip across the UP of Michigan headed toward home. I ended my trip today at the casino hotel in Watersmeet, MI.
