Up and on
the road by 7 a.m. hoping for some side trips and sightseeing as I made my way to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
I stopped for breakfast near Rosedale, Wisconsin at Tabberts...the Sasquatch made me stop and the cherry pie made me glad I did (even though I had to take it to go since I ate too much.) Just wish I'd gotten more than one piece.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin I stopped at Cabela's to buy some waterproof hiking
shoes. Even though I packed 9 pairs of
shoes (don't judge!) I didn't have anything waterproof other than heavily
insulated boots...and now I do.
It was odd seeing Cabela's selling Bass Pro t-shirts.

Great
drive along the Green Bay of Lake Michigan.
The UP and northern Wisconsin is very pretty.
Everything
went really well until I checked into my Airbnb. It's an older, small roadside
hotel that is being updated - and it needs a ton of work. My
room smells musty and I immediately had the beginning of a headache. A quick look in the shower made me realize
I'd need shoes to shower. Ugh!
I re-read the reviews for this room on Airbnb. There were eleven 5-star reviews. Several discussed how clean the room was. What?!
I'm
staying here tonight but I've cancelled the other 4 nights that I'd planned to
stay here. Did I mention there are no
coffee shops in the area?
I found
another Airbnb for the next 4 nights - fingers crossed.
I went into town for dinner at a restaurant that's been in business for 75 years. I was impressed that they actually have cardboard straws. I'm getting tired of restaurants making me feel bad for using a straw. I'm not the one buying the plastic straws or the ones that don't wash the rim of the glasses well enough to drink off of.

Give me a minute while I get down off my soap box.
I stopped being impressed when they brought my salad. When they asked what kind of dressing I wanted I said "A vinaigrette" They brought me
a bottle of mystery oil and a some vinegar. Not really the same.
Back to my
room to get ready to head out first thing tomorrow - fingers crossed on
tomorrow's room.
In an earlier post I mentioned this door lock (link). Highly recommend it! None of my rooms have had any additional door locks and I've felt so much better knowing I was actually "locked" in for the night.
