Brad, stop at the brewery and get a tee shirt. They have them with the route on them for H58. 56 miles and 198 curves... Did it this summer and it was so great. You will love it.

enjoy brad, have a safe trip, im not sure what route you take up, or down, but i bet h13 between 2 and 28 should be really pretty drive, takes a little longer, but it think its worth it. we wont be up til the 7th now, im looking forward to the h58 run myself, i havent got to it since its been paved. we are actually heading up to the keweenaw as well, its been a long time since ive made it over that way, looking forward to some hiking. Hopefully the wind up there this week wont knock all the leaves off the trees!! enjoying the piece and quiet on my day off before the little one wakes up, figured i would drop in and say hello. have a good day

We are packed and waiting to leave, right now we have rain and wind, hopefully one or the other or both will subside so we can get outta here

Well we never made it north of the Bridge, we blew friday off never stopped raining and the wind was really ripping. We made plans to leave on Sat. morning early but the other 2 bikes had problems starting due to cool weather. They had to end up replacing the battery in 1 bike which got us started out at 11am, so it was a rocky start to say the least. Once we got to Clare things cleared up sun came out, colors up 115 were at 30-40% took that to Frankfort picked up M22 north around the Leelanau Peninsula, colors closer to the lake are at about 25%, spent the night in Traverse City. Got up Sunday morning with a heavy frost on the bikes and took M31 north to Harbor Springs took M119 through the tunnel of trees and then on into Mackinaw City then home nice couple day trip about 725 miles total
