Day 5 - Tahquamenon Falls to F.J. McLain State Park

Spirits were high this morning after yesterday's success. Sun was shining, maybe 70 degrees, and I was ready to go.

Arriving in McLain State Park

I quickly setup my tent, unloaded the bike a bit and immediately headed northeast to Copper Harbor on the Keewanaw Peninsula. I was heard this was a must see. I knew I'd be racing against the clock to get to Copper Harbor and back before nightfall, so I picked up the pace a bit. This did not go unnoticed by a friendly Trooper and I was pulled over. I freely admitted to the officer what speed I thought I was going and was extremely cordial and respectful. He wrote me a ticket for 5 over, which I thought was a generous offer. It could have been much worse. I won't say how much;-)
