(^148) Holland – Covert - 78 km
The rain-soaked ride to Covert was somewhat miserable. Fortunately,
the weather wasn't cold, but thunder and lightning made me take
cover at a shop. Shortly afterwards, I finished the day’s ride when I
spotted a campsite in Covert, where I crawled in sopping wet.
Covert – Vicksburg - 80 km
So well did I sleep, the time was already past 8h00 before I emerged
from my tent. Coffee was from a store in camp and it was already
10h30 by the time I cycled out of Covert in the direction of Vicksburg.
It was time to cross the state of Michigan and make my way towards
Lake Erie. Unfortunately, no clear path headed across the state and
the day was spent zig-zagging through farmlands on country roads.
At one of these settlements, I met Sharon Wimple, running for state
representative. On wishing her well in the elections, she put a few
dollars in my hand and told me to have a meal. As this was the
second time I was given money to buy food, I thought I must look
somewhat scrawny. LOL.
