The ferry to Muskegon was smooth and uneventful, and a favorite subject of many Michiganites. The people here love to wax poetic of their exotic excursions across the great lake. Definitely worth the price in my book.
Muskegon first impressed me with their Lake Front Path bike trail, then with the fact that no one stole our stuff while we blogged away in the library. Out of Muskegon, we headed towards the Hart-Montague trail to make our way north towards Luddington. A stop a Red Rooster Tavern introduced us to the local progressives. I had to stop for a bathroom break. The rainbow sherbert caught my eye first. The picture of a chicken wearing pasties with the caption "chicken strips" was what made me wave Megan inside. Chatting with the young bartender who reminded us of Falon from CBF, we regained hope in America. Ahhh, socially conscious people in the Midwest, a sigh of relief. The biracial motorcycling couple at the bar congratulated us on embarking on this trip and we were on a way. A quick dip in Duck Lake (a must for future bike riders) and we were on the Hart-Montague bike trail.
Everyone in Michigan knows about the Rails to Trails program. They might not know where they are, or how well maintained, but they do know that many of their tax dollars have gone to make some of the most impressive bike paths I've ever seen. I highly recommend this trail.
