Heading to Chicago

Chicago's Navy Pier
Fast forward to Friday.  We tried to cross Lake Michigan on Thursday morning but after only a few miles we returned to St. Joseph.  The waters were much to rough.  Returning to St. Joseph we again met up with Tide and Time.  Together we then crossed to Chicago on Friday morning in the most perfect lake conditions. The sight of Chicago coming into view in the distance was quite a sight.  After cruising by Navy Pier we chose a nearby marina for Friday and Saturday night.  Today we finally got the bikes out and road our way around the Chicago bike paths.There is an air show here today and there will be fireworks tonight!  We feel like we are on vacation from the loop today. Our plans are to continue on tomorrow and cruise through downtown Chicago, that should be a grand sight.  We have now traveled 4,880 miles of our loop.  The time is really going fast.  This will become a memory before we know it. We have met so many great people and have seen so many small towns along the journey.
