Another 400-mile day, 434 to be specific.  Owatonna MN to Escanaba MI.  Yes!  We are once again on Michigan soil and it feels very good although we're sad to be nearing the end of another terrific road trip.  We rolled into Escanaba with no hotel reservations so we stopped at an old Quality Inn and stood in line with a large group of semi-drunken Cubans.  We don't really know why the tipsy Cubans were in Escanaba but when I told them I had once lived in Puerto Rico we all got along like longtime amigos!
We've had perfect traveling weather so far but we're expecting tomorrow to be partly rainy and that could affect our plans.  We may head for the barn or, if the weather is really nice, make another stop somewhere between here and home.
We should mention that the fall colors up here have been knockout gorgeous!
Take care all!
P.S.  Right after telling Alice that I had once been stopped in Wisconsin for speeding just a few mph over the limit guess what!  It happened again.  A cop going in the opposite direction on 2-lane Wisconsin rt. 8 did a dramatic Uey and chased me down.  But when I stopped near the parking lot of a Northwoods bar he seemed very uneasy about being seen there and after shaking hands said he had another call and told me I was free to go.  Whew!
