MICHIGAN THUMB

Yesterday we took a ride around the "thumb" of Michigan, and were somewhat disappointed. It wasn't as great as the tourist information claims. We expected it to have small towns on the water with neat shops like the western side of MI. We went for many, many miles before we saw the water, and finally found some nice houses and marinas. We did stop at a "Larry Wilson type tavern/restaurant" for a good perch sandwich, and then found an ice cream place in another town.

There were some nice views of both Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron.
