Sunday, July 10, 2016 - Upper Peninsula, MI to Traverse City, MI

Sometimes someone is an alcoholic. Sometimes...

We stopped in Manistique, MI for lunch.

Real Yoopers wear these!

Suzy has everything!

Street fair!

Pretty building

Now THAT is a water tower!


Hi Sadie!

Lake Michigan, from the north

I don't think this means what we think this means.

We are about to descend to the Lower Peninsula. Are those people called Loopers? They totally should be.

From the left: Lake Huron / Mackinac Bridge / Lake Michigan

Mackinac Bridge 

The original name of Mackinac was Michilimackinac. And yes, the windshield will be replaced soon.

We have circled nearly the entire Lake Michigan.

Ew.

Yum?

This region is known for its cherries. Here is a Cherry Farmer.

This water tower has a crew cut.

Whaaaaat?


Cherries

Now we're at Wuerfel Park to see the Traverse City Beach Bums play the Windy City Thunderbolts. These are teams in the Frontier League and are not affiliated with Major League Baseball.

We hung out with this player's mom in Windy City.
 

Hey! That's not nice!

 Carpet race?

 View from the outfield

 Beach Bums have beach chairs (but no beach).

 The gentleman in the middle teamed up with Suntan to raise awareness of the suicide rate of returning veterans. 22 pushups daily for 22 days. 22 veterans commit suicide daily.

 Sunburn terrorizing fans.


Not nice...but super funny!




 And a win by Dem Bums! Evidently a sweep to boot!

 Congratulations

 Is this near the camp?
