2017 MinnWisMi - Grosse Ile, MI to Toledo, Ohio

Monday, October 16 - Grosse Ile, Michigan to Toledo, Ohio
Time to head home. Larry and Linda have been totally spoiling us and now they are driving us to Toledo so we can catch the train early tomorrow morning.
It was another beautiful sunny day but chilly. Our timing might be just right. It took about an hour to drive and it would have been a whole day on the bikes....we are still in a bit of a bike tour time warp.
We had dinner at their favorite Toledo place. Tony Packo's was made famous by Toledo native Jamie Farr's references to it when he was on "MASH" as Klinger.
It has had a lot of famous and interesting people stop in over the years. The tradition of signing hot dog buns was started by Burt Reynolds in 1972. Since then people have signed a foam replica of a bun and they line most of the walls.

Thank you Larry and Linda for everything!
We start heading west tomorrow. Thank you Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan for sharing your friendly people and natural beauty with us. And keep up the good work on your bike/ped aspirations!
