The 4th of July Parade
July 5 featured a 30 mile loop around some of the local bike paths and roads through Maple City.
Headed out on July 6 to Cadillac (a hilly and hot 76 miles). The high point of the day was dessert!
July 7: About 47 miles SE of Cadillac is the town of Clare, famous for its donut shop (my kind of place). Cops & Donuts was a bakery that was about to close, and was rescued by the area police force. A unique example of crowd funding! Today there were tons of bikers (Harleys). The local motorcycle gangs were running a "toys for tots" fundraiser, and Cops & Donuts were giving free donuts to bikers who donated toys.
Cool article from the SF Chron was on their wall!
Thanks for the food shots! Love the t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteJenny here. Did you try the Amish fried pie? Googled -- looks like a turnover. This is a delightful travelogue. You do all the work, and we get to admire. :)
