Day 24, Jun 13^th, Yankee Springs Recreation Area to Belding, MI.  Last night was clear and cool, a perfect night for camping.  I was comfortable in my sleeping bag.  There were a gazillion kids at the campground but I was amazed that at 9:30 everything quieted down.  I had a bathroom run at about midnight and was stunned by the number of stars in the sky.  We just don’t see all the stars in Yorktown with all the artificial light from the cities.  We were some of the first campers moving and broke camp by 7:30.  It was very cool and we put on long sleeve jackets.  We had a great breakfast at Sandy’s Diner right outside the state park.  Today’s ride was almost a mirror of yesterday; rural roads, farmland, and lots of flowers.  The wind subsided some but there were more hills.  We rode steady and made 23 miles before our first junk food break in Freeport.  We pushed on another 20 and had lunch in Saranac at Germaine's, a restaurant frequented by touring cyclists.  We had intended to camp another night, but Dave took one for the team and claimed an sore knee.  We altered our plans, with much regret, and found a hotel in Belding, slightly off the route.  Total miles for the day 56.98
