    We went 53 miles today! It was pretty rough going west across the top of the lake but once we turned the corner to head south it was noticeably better. When we headed out today we really didn’t have a firm game plan. Started out maybe going to Beaver Island.. or better yet Garden Island with better protection but that was more west and south was better. So then we discussed Petoskey, and then Harbor Springs which was shorter. But then after calculating the distance Charlevoix was only 3 more miles without having to go east so we’re actually a fair bit further south. This is a super cute town and much less touristy. Nice downtown right on the water. Tonight Moki and I stumbled upon a concert at the library. It was the last one of a summer series. They played everything from Jethro Tull to the theme song of Charlie Brown. It was fun. Charlevoix is also home to around 20 mushroom houses. May try to squeeze finding some in before we leave.Read more
