"Big Mac" Spring Shoreline Bike Tour - June 11, 1999

We spent the day biking around the Island, visited the original fort, had lunch at our favorite spot, La Chance cottage, and watched the Lilac Festival activities on the Green.

Julie didn't think I'd take her picture. Surprise! It's like stepping back in time...except for all of the fudge shops.
Here's a closeup of a guard tower at the fort. There are interesting rock formations to be seen all over the Island.
There were a lot of these yellow flowers along the path. We ran into Marilyn on the way to old Fort Holmes.
And we saw the Austins there as well. Marilyn wanted a picture of me, so I decided to flex (ouch)!




Fort Holmes is on the highest spot and the view is something else. It inspired Marilyn to do her Maria VonTropp imitation.
The original fort is made of dirt and logs. Really safe, huh? We passed by some great old houses on the way back down.
Gwen and Brian came by as we were eating, so they joined us. As did Chris and Neil.
We found George, complete with headband, on the Green. Several bands were on hand for the Lilac Festival.


This Island marina has a New England look to it.

On the way back, we stopped in Atlanta, MI to see Kevin and Val.
Cody, a neighbor, stopped by to watch me unload the camper.








That's it this year's Big Mac Bike Tour. How about joining us next year?
