NIGHT RIDER: Michigan, USA

Last night we were looking for a rest stop to sidle up in on route to the upper peninsula. We asked directions from a fellow who was still up at 12:30 working on his Bike in the garage and nursing the last of a long string of beers after a late night Harley convention.

Not content with directing us to the rest area, the ex-marine gun enthusiast with an impressive hot-rod assembly business, not only had us parking on his drive for the night (actually offered us a room), but also using their shower, drinking their coffee, and taking us to the locally famous "Steak 'n' Egger" for a bumper brekkie the next day. Terrific people Mike, Sarah & lil' Tiff.




We declined the offer of a ride on the bike as he looked like he wanted to scare the begeebies out of us. With the heartiest of thanks and a promise to send a family portrait, we were on our way.
