2014 Road Trip – Day Twelve – St. Ignace, MI To Wisconsin Dells, WI

RAMANAM
In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.

Countrymen.

Yesterday, RAMANAM and I turned south and west for home.

Several reason:

1- I saw the colors I hoped to see in New England in MI UP. So, basic mission of the trip accomplished.

2- I am tired. The route I took is beautiful and fascinating but also long due to speed limits and transiting towns and their speed limits. From St. Ignace, New England is another 1500 miles and I had already come 2500 miles.

3- Regime response to Marburg virus/crisis (it is not Ebola, which liquifies the body, including bone) aims to aggrandize the enviros’ agenda to eliminate 80% of the human race, starting with Americans, and that means everything connected with vectors of travel is very soon to be infected. And TX, NM, AZ, CA seem very dangerous states to sleep or dine in now. Others too, but those especially and my original itinerary took me through the centers of the first three.

4- Open borders is one face of the Janus whose other face is total freeze up of communications. I do not want to approach the state line of, say, given the original itinerary, Louisiana and be told I may not pass, and same for other states on the route home.

5- Mary is alone.

No pictures taken today, day 13, but there follow pictures taken yesterday as we were leaving St. Ignace.

I was on the road longer than desired yesterday but suspected that might happen. My goal, from St. Ignace, was to join I-90 for rapid travel home ASAP. That meant heading out into WI farm land in spotty electronics (i.e., Google Maps) areas and on county roads as the shortest way, south of Green Bay, WI, to I-90 from the starting point, St. Ignace.

I saw in advance that this would land me in areas with few motels and those not uniformly to be desired and that the surest way to sleep relatively securely that night would be at what I later learned is the world’s premier collection of water sports parks, at Wisconsin Dells, WI. Over VERY back, back (county) road with many turns. Out into the blue so to speak. I was doing pathfinder stuff, though electronically aided when I could get reception. With dark falling, so animal danger and cataract bright-light-blindness were factors. Not ideal driving conditions for this pilgrim.

But steed and I made it without visible damage, finally, about eight hours on the road total, well beyond my ideal.

I do like the MI UP!
