Day 48 -20th July 2013, Sleeping Bear Dunes to Traverse City, 40.56 miles

Rano navstevujeme severnu cast dun s krasnou plazou a vyhladom na Manituove ostrovy, prevalujeme tazky kamen. Opustame duny a po nadhernej cykloceste sa dostavame ku Glen Lake, kupanie, obed, pekny vyhlad na Dune Climb s mravcami, trochu to pripomina zjazdovku. Dnes sa akosi ochladilo, miestami je az zima. Zdolavame prvy kopcisko dna a za odmenu sa mozeme pokochat vyhladom na Glen Lake s takmer tropickym image. Cvicime/ucime SJ Tai-chi. Pri druhej obedovej pauze zastavujeme pri zda sa opustenom sklade, sme trocha prekvapeny, ked tesne predtym, nez odideme pride chlapik a strasne mu vadi, ze sme mu osedeli tien pred jeho garazodomom (ci to to bolo). Tak sme stretli prveho americkeho trkvasa, v porovnani s mnostvom uzasnych ludi co sme minuli cestou to zas nie je tak zle...
Smerujeme do Traverse City, cesta je opat ako husenkova draha. Vecer bivakujeme (tajne :-)) pod sirakom v malom State park za Traverse City. Vychutnavame si lipovy caj z dun a takmer spln.

- in the morning we visited north part of dunes, not as steep as yesterday, but with beautiful beach & view to the Manitou islands
- we found and lifted very heavy rock
- another nice bike trail through pine woods and dunes led us to Glen Lake
- it's a first colder day, Baška is swimming, me and SJ are standing in shallow water
- first real steep hill of the day & overlook to"tropical" Glen Lake & Tai-chi exercise (first SJ's class)
- up & downhill exercise on the way to Traverse city
- we took lunch sitting in somebody's shade and than man came and was quite angry (probably it was very expensive shade, because it's building looked abandoned) and tell us to leave, but we were leaving anyway
- we reached Traverse City in the evening and following another bike trail camp behind TC in small TC State park
- no mosquitoes, no tent, nearly full moon and linden tree tea
