We were back in farm country today and it was interesting to see modern electric generating windmills juxtaposed against the old farms. I wonder if either makes any money. --- I did see a few dairy cows today and what must have been a cheese factory, though there was no sign so indicating; just a modern building with four milk trucks parked, a large warehouse and a lot of exhaust fans. --- We travelled northeast mostly by going either north or east. The wind was from the northwest so we had either headwind (going north) or tailwind (going east). There was nothing in-between. --- You can see from the photo on the right we had ominous clouds much of the day, and they got worse as the day progressed. I got sprinkled on as I got close to the motel. Others who were a little bit later got caught in a rain shower. --- Riding east on county road X for 10 miles through corn fields and you come to a “T” intersection at road LS and there it is, Lake Michigan (more in tomorrow’s blog).

Church on left is Catholic – are they on the top of the hill so they can have “high mass”?

What are we all going to do when you're finished with this trip? We won't have our daily dose of riding across America - with all your great photos. We, too, took the ferry across Lake Michigan when the hot, southery winds kind of pushed us in that direction. So we missed Indiana and Illinois. Next time.
I imagine your trip is going very fast right now, just about the time you want it to last just a bit longer.
Its on the hill to keep the cows out.
Are you going to have another milage dilemna riding the ferry across the lake? I guess you could take some rollers or a trainer and pedal the entire time or ride in circles around the boat...
The Catholics are atop the hill so they can take the moral high ground...
Fraser don't get a cat fight started on here!
