Day 34: Bicycling Across America – Saginaw, MI

Posted on by

Vanessa I’m lost I said, though I knew she was sleeping

I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why

It took me five weeks to cycle to Saginaw

I’ve gone to look for America.

I didn’t sleep very well last night again. This is probably due to me drinking iced tea late in the day and my campsite neighbor running his generator and keeping the lights on on his RV all night. When I did get to sleep, it started raining, which woke me up too. It was still amazing hearing the coyotes yipping fora while through all the noise.

Today was kind of a transition day as I’m working across Michigan on my way to the shores of Lake Erie.

I decided not to get an ice cream here.
Typical Michigan Farm
Hay bundles. I’d never seen these before outside of drawings from the Middle Ages. Maybe Amish?
The route today had about 20 miles of quiet bike path
Trestle bridge on the bike path
Murals on underpasses. We should do this more back home.

Still, I got a nice inexpensive hotel room in Saginaw and I’m looking forward to one last day in Michigan.
