Day 143 - Imlay City to Grand Blanc

We have been in many interesting and beautiful parts of Michigan. This area of south central Michigan is not among them. With no rain and no flats, there's not much to say about today - except we didn't get rained on and had no flat tires!

We had a rough ride for much of the route today. Kerry had to do a lot of dodging to avoid the worst of the cracked and broken pavement.

I think I took this picture because it looked like a better surface was ahead. It didn't last long.

A barn with its hay elevator ready to work

At our first stop, we saw these guys checking out our bike. Kerry went out to talk and met Henry and his dad, Jeff.

This is for Rich. I hope you're reading this. We thought about you when we rode past!

This is a Century Farm - continuously farmed by the same family for over 100 years. My picture of the house and sign in the yard was all out of focus.

Old buildings and old foundations surrounded by well kept landscaping

In this view, the new outbuildings are visible.

At this place, we noticed the blue casts or dressings on the horses' forelegs.

Does any know the what and why of the blue things on the horses legs?

Some old buildings in the little town of Hadley. We learned in the next town that Hadley was a once thriving community which is declining in population and losing its local businesses.

That's it for today. Perhaps tomorrow we'll have more interesting things to share!

Today's ride: 38 miles (61 km)
Total: 5,351 miles (8,612 km)
