Today’s drive from Traverse City, MI, to Marinette, WI, was a little over 300 miles, and about 90% of it was within sighting distance of Lake Michigan. It was quite a pleasant drive with little traffic amid a few small sections of road construction. I took maybe 5-1/2 hours from end to end and it included 4 nature breaks, snack stops, and leg stretches with a little longer break to a enjoy a quiet, contemplative few minutes watching the random 3″ surf roll in and take the photos above.
The warm-up Roadside America photo is of the Paul Bunyan Statue in Manistique, MI, which claims to be the “Home of Paul Bunyan,” but they are only one of several cities to claim that distinction. I know I have a picture of a similar statue at home in an album of the one in Bangor, ME.
The main Roadside America photo is of a Naughty Cow Statue in Daggett, MI, that emulates a pose that can be found on Bourbon St. and many other streets during Mardi Gras in New Orleans or at any large gatherings of Harley Davidison mototrcycles in response to the cry of, “Show us your teats!”
