Day 26, Jun 15^th, Hardy Dam (Sandy Beach Campground) to Luther, MI (Four Seasons Campground).  We started later this morning.  I was the first up and  Dave was still snoring in his tent.  The sun came up over the lake (very beautiful) and the lake was glassy.  We broke camp slowly and rode to a convenience store for breakfast.  I had an egg, sausage, and cheese croissant and Dave went right for the donuts and apple fritters.  I had to join him with an apple fritter and COFFEE!!!!  It was another day in rural Michigan.  We saw a number of deer, Dave saw a red fox, and we saw 5-6 wild turkeys in a field.  The farms are smaller and there are many empty houses and barns and the area doesn’t seem as prosperous as earlier.  There were few snack or food opportunities today, so we stopped at all of them.  We passed through Big Jackson, MI and took a picture of one of the several very small schools we passed.  We lunched at the Last Chance Saloon in the town (used loosely) of Hawkins (Pop. 28 (est)).  The ride today was either up or down.  There was absolutely NO flat ground and it took a toll on us.  We stopped in the village of Luther and used the library for some needed charging of electronic equipment and their WiFi connection.  Mileage so far is about 55 with another 3-4 to the campground.  We did our best to find a motel but were thwarted at every turn.  Luther has 2 bars and we will flip a coin for dinner.
