The muffler repair job!
Mighty Mac - The roadway can flex 22 ft (up and down I think is what he said) as needed!
Hiking Selfie!
Wilderness State Park, my campsite last night.
Yesterday, I spent the day on my new island, Mackinac
Island. I will be working at Mackinac
Outfitter and the Lake View Hotel (part time) through October. My adventure started before I even made it up
here! Near Milan, MI, while cruising
down the highway, I suddenly heard a grinding/rattling noise from under my
car. I pulled over to find out that the
bracket holding my muffler had lost a bolt, allowing the muffler to drag. I felt like a super hero after I used the
paracord I had packed at the last minute to tie up my muffler. Then, at the next exit, Tim, of Tim’s Auto,
LLC [a very swamped and busy mechanic, I might add whose wife expected him to
not have time to help me] put my car up on the lift, fixed the bracket, and
then found and fixed another loose bracket, before not even charging me! I bought him some Subway. Anyways, with God’s mercy I made it up here. I am sore in several places and kinda sunburn,
but I am feeling much better about my decision to work up here. Things I wish I had known: bring hand soap,
White Deer Trail housing is NICE, and put a kickstand on your bike. My favorite place so far has been touring
around West Bluff. They have some
amazing houses!!! One is painted teal or
something (I don’t really remember), but they have brightly painted turtle
sculptures, a quittage field in their backyard, about 7 American flags, and it
is just so bright and cheerful! Final
note, the food is much better than I expected!
And they have healthy stuff! And
you can eat as much as you want! Also, I
have missed the step going into this common room each of the 4 times I have
walked in here. 100% baby!
thats my girl!
