Deb and I checked out of our motel this morning in Superior, and after breakfast, headed back to the trail  road where I left yesterday and I continued the long slog to Pattison State Park which is still after today 15.5 miles away.  The first 7 miles or so were on gravel and the mosquitos were out in force.  I wore a head net but once on pavement there were no mosquitos to be found.

Absolutely no traffic on my gravel section today and minimal traffic on County A once I got off the gravel.  Every vehicle on County A that approached me pulled over for me even though I stepped off the road for them - I was impressed by how courteous the drivers were.

After I finished today we headed home and I won't be back till next Tuesday.  We are home for 2 days and then head down south to crew for Angie at the Kettle 100.  Took a detour (slight) on the way home so Deb could go to the quilt store (and I could go to the Angry Minnow Brewpub) and then we ate dinner at the Anglers Bar and Grill - best wings in a long while.

Not too many pictures today
