We're waiting until tomorrow to try that,after today's mechanical non-crisis.Persistence thinks she's got it sussed,but we need clear and open roads to try it,in case of catastrophic failage.

Persistence likes cruise control
![]() And Lake Michigan is...I want to use the word 'awesome',but its very overused these days,but there it is.Awesome.And big.And cold.Which was great,as we'd just climbed and descended the massive sand dune outside of Saugatuck to get there.We did the very British thing of stripping off our socks and boots and having a paddle.Only wish I'd had a deckchair and a white hankie to put on my head and knot at the 4 corners.

We did,but it was closed,it only seems to run weekends at the minute.There was a number pinned to a noticeboard to ring,but it seemed a bit churlish to drag someone out for $2.We got a few snaps of it tho.Mount Baldhead and the lake were far more interesting,and took up a lot more of our time,the climb back up from the beach almost killed me.
I must mention,we got some damned fine Ice-Cream down in the town too,which has a lot of nice shops and galleries. Persistence is badgering me to mention that she scrawled our names onto the railings at the top of the Mt.,and that we found a scraffito informing us that 'Kelse made an excersise video that you will never see'.We were unsure as how to act upon this information,but thought you may all like to know. ![]()

Top tip: When you've got your boots tied around your neck by the laces,do NOT bend down quickly whilst walking.Oh,how we laughed as we searched amongst the sand for a lens from my glasses and the tiny tiny screw that holds it in place.
