Hi Everyone,

It did not rain last night. It did not rain this morning.  The only thing on radar
 was what I assumed to be fog miles down the road. 

So we started the morning as usual.  At McDonalds, I asked the local where
there was any food available on M24 going south toward Lapeer.  I was told
to stop at Mayville and then it was guesses past Mayville.  We stopped at a
gas station at Mayville and it was a good thing that I asked about the thin
black line road between Lapeer and Imlay City as I didn't want to go on I-69.

I was told that it was all torn up and under construction.  I was given several
options but the one that I chose was the simplest.  Continue on M24 and go
left at M90 (traffic light) and right on M53.  Soon it was obvious that we would
get to Imlay City too early so we kept on going to Yale which had a motel. 
With a westerly wind and what appeared to be a headwind going south, I
decided to stay with the tailwind and go for Lake Huron so we headed for
Lakeport just north of Port Huron.  A few miles from Lakeport, there were a
few drops, just enough to make me ask myself whether or not to put on the
rain covers on the panniers and not enough to require no decision at all.  I
decided that I was so close to Lakeport that I would be there before I could
put the rain covers on.  Then it cleared up.  Oh, I forgot go say that it was
one of tons raindrops while the sun was shining things.

After getting in the motel, I checked the radar and it showed green, yellow,
and orange over Port Huron so it was a good idea not to go on to Port Huron. 
Also the dark clouds were to the south.  I did see two flashes of "dry lightning"
in about an hour while riding today.

Tomorrow we should be able to cross into Canada easily. 

Oh, the motel has wifi but the firewalls (physical fire) block the wifi signals.
However the is AT&T 3G here so I don't need wifi.  I don't know what I will
do in Canada.  I don't know if Rogers will sell me 3G service on a month to
month basis as AT&T does in the US on the Apple iPad plan.  Maybe I will
have to use wifi only in Canada.

The Statistics:  76.29 miles and 341 feet of climbing.
