DAY 45--Another record

From our campground we rode around Shawano Lake and back to the Mountain Bay Trail. The trail conditions were not good here, but improved once we got into the next county. The weather was again overcast and chilly, but at least we had no rain.
When we got to Green Bay we had some trouble with hard-to-locate bike routes, significant road construction, and detours. Ann had two flat tires and decided to call her husband to come pick her up. (This was her last day riding with us, and Gary was to meet us at the end anyway.) Lonna and I continued on, crossing the Fox River on a bridge that was clearly labeled "no bicycles". We couldn't find any other way across. After that we caught the Fox River rail trail out of town. Along the trails we saw a mother deer with two young ones, a pileated woodpecker, and suicidal chipmunks (they wait at the side of the trail until you are there, then dash across in front of you).
We had expected about an 80 mile day, but it ended up being 94 miles, our longest yet. At mile 91 we turned a corner and caught sight of Lake Michigan. We rode into Point Beach State Park and to our campsite, where Gary, Ann, Steve, and JOEL were waiting to greet us. They had built a campfire, and brought us Subway for dinner. We also had the bottle of wine we had bought recently.
Joel had brought some things for us-- more warm clothes for Lonna, shoe covers to help keep our toes warm in the rain, and a nice new warm sleeping bag for me.
