Day 17 - 55 miles of rain

Today's ride to Grand Marais was fairly flat along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Only downer was the thunder storms that rolled through all- day. It's hard to outrun a storm! But I tried. Found a great pub in GM which has roots in Oregon. The Lake Superior Brewing Company's owners also live outside of Eugene, OR on a
vineyard and are promoting their wine in the UP. The name is Sarver Winery.

Grand Marais has a nice harbor and is the jump-off point for those hiking the Nat'l Lakeshore. This area had a very large Pinery and huge log rafts use to line the shores. In the winter this area is snowmobile central!
