Unfortunately the map I bought doesn't have much detail and the county roads either weren't shown or weren't labeled. So, I just picked roads that had "South" in the direction and hoped for the best. I'd ask for directions every once in a while, but for the most part my intuition was right.
This part of Michigan is well known for its sand dunes along the beach. I didn't take the time to explore them, but lots of other people do. There are a number of shops that offer dune buggy rentals or just tours.
I rode into Muskegon at about 5 p.m. and was tempted to try to make it down to Holland, but since I don't have a campground/motel listing, I thought it best find a campground early.
I'm spending the night at the Grand Haven State Park, right on the beach. If you just looked at the setting you might guess I'm on a California beach.
For dinner, I walked into town and had a hot dog and burrito at Butch's Beach Burritos. Doesn't this look like something you'd find along Highway 1? Even the hot dogs are served with hot sauce. They put the wiener in a bun, add the toppings and then roll it in a burrito.
I got back to my campsite just as the sun was starting to go down.
My neighbors at the campground noticed my minimalist approach to camping and offered to share their dinner with me. Even though I just ate, I couldn't turn down a friendly invitation for dinner (always need to fuel the pedaling engine) and conversation. Jeff and Mary and their family are here from Ottumwa, Iowa.
This campground is mostly big trailers and RVs. Many people brought their bikes. It occurred to me that while other people used their trailers to bring their bikes here, I used my bike to bring my trailer here.
