Day 67 - 8th August 2013, Marquette to Champion (Van Riper State park), 34.9 miles

Dnes opúšťame Marquette po peknej cykloceste, ale najprv ešte Baška rieši problémy s jej batohom čo poslala na Slovensko. Kus cesty sledujeme železnicu čo preváža železnú rudu, celá táto oblasť je povestná svojimi ložiskami a baňami na železnú rudu, skrátka je to tu dosť rozkopané, cestou míňame mnoho starých lomov. Napájame sa na cestu Č. 28, celkom v pohode, široká krajnica, ale s hustou premávkou. Za Negaunee sa to ale lepší. Učíme SJ ako použivať prehadzovačku :-).
Kempujeme v Van Riper state park, akurát tu má zraz nejaká nezadaná kresťanská mládež, všetci sa úporne snažia uloviť si budúceho dokonalého ženícha či nevestu... No, asi je to lepšie ako zoznamka na internete.

- yesterday we spent hole day with packing, so we left Marquette today
- Baška had to solved another problems with backpack which she sent to Slovakia, so we had to go to the County clerk to confirm some document for Baška's father so maybe he will be able to get that cursed backpack
- we left Marquette on nice, quiet bike trail, met one girl from Marquette's bike shop, try to teach SJ how to use derailleur on her new bike
- this region is well known for it's iron ore, mines, heaps and iron pellets, this stuff is everywhere around Negaunee
- after bike trail we spent rest of the day on route 28, quite nice with wide shoulder and rumble strip but a little bit too loudly because high traffic, after Negaunee it got better but for couple days this will be our daily bread
- or camp is in Van Riper state park, cost 12$, camp is full of young man and girls because some church here organize event "find your future spouse"
