(^144) Waukesha, Wisconsin – Muskegon, Michigan - 22 km (Ferry)
A short ride, partly on a bike path, took me to the ferry terminal in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. En route to the ferry, I met Bob, another
cyclist, who accompanied me to the ferry terminal. I was just in time
to board the ferry across Lake Michigan, which came at a hefty $100
fee. However, the ferry was amazingly comfortable and fast. Two
hours later, I was relieved to moor at the pier in Muskegon, Michigan.
My relief was due to the countless accounts of mighty strange
sightings and disappearances in and around Lake Michigan. I
overnighted in Muskegon but sadly never witnessed any UFOs or
bright lights in the sky.

Muskegon – Holland - 50 km
From Muskegon, a short 50-kilometre ride took me to Holland.
Although it rained for most of the day, the weather cleared by late
afternoon. Holland sported a motel that provided a fast enough
internet connection to reload the Garmin map, which went on the
blink.
The town of Holland came as a surprise. It indeed resembled a tiny
Holland, sporting windmills and wooden shoes. Shops even sold apple
strudel.
