Day 47 (rest day): Colorful sunrise in Escanaba while we ate breakfast at the Drifters restaurant. Kevin's bike will be resting on the back of the van for 3 days while I'm in Los Angeles for my niece's wedding. Alan is on his own and will be exploring Escanaba for 3 days. As we drove away from Drifters, we watched Alan walk towards Walmart to get supplies. Seemed a little sad and strange that they aren't riding their bikes. Kevin, Janut and Bob dropped me off at the Green Bay airport (a small airport 2.25 hrs south of Escanaba) then they took off to shop, do laundry, and explore more of Wisconsin for a couple days. It's definitely a small Midwest airport when you see mowers and garden equipment displayed in the terminal as you proceed to the security checkpoint, which was closed because there were no flights going out of concourse A for a few hours (there's only A & B - and I got there early). I bought 8 lbs of Wisconsin cheese curds and sat in the lounge until security checkpoint A opened. I also had a layover in Chicago (delayed because the pilot didn't notice the electrical warning light until 10 minutes before take-off so we had to wait for maintenance. The pilot kept apologizing for not seeing it earlier during his rounds...hmm...that's not very reassuring). We flew over the Grand Canyon, which looked spectacular. It was a 12 hour travel day for me today. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at Tracy's wedding on Saturday! On Sunday, I'll fly back to Green Bay, plus John's flying in from Seattle at the same time. We are all looking forward to having John back. Come Monday morning, Kevin, Alan, and John will be riding east together again. by Jo
