Observation:  So this morning’s ride had it all and after 36 miles I really didn’t want it to end – great weather, some amazing professional and amateur art, my first animal bones, a stripped car, great conversations with strangers about my project, a couple of community gardens, another bottle memorial, and a couple abandoned structures that were just beautiful with the right light.

Distance:  36.48 miles

D-Fact: The first state capitol was actually in Detroit, but it was relocated to Lansing in 1847, due to the need to develop the state’s western portion and for easy defense from British troops stationed in Windsor, Ontario.
