Biking Marquette, and a Fall Preview: On the Road

I'm watching the fire from a dangerously close distance, able to see my breath and questioning my ability to feel my toes.  With weak cell signal and an inability to keep my fingers out of my pockets for an extended amount of time, but also with a desire to not fall too far behind on my posts, here's a short summary of our trip to Marquette.  All from the cozy comfort of campsite T6.

Upon arriving at our campsite, our new camp neighbors, from Louisville, KY, offered to make us margaritas.  Expecting the generic "from the bottle" margarita, we were taken aback when Stephanie prepared our margarita from freshly squeezed limes and oranges!

Goofing off at breakfast; we opted to grab some on the go rather than having to clean up camp.

A rainy and very cool second night had us head out for some ice cream, because who doesn't want ice cream when they're freezing cold and soaking wet?!

Following a rainy night, we ditched the trails for the first half of the day and opted to scope out downtown Marquette.

After a day of splurging on going out to eat (both at Sweetwater and at Donkers--where I indulged in an olive & nut sammie), we cooked at the site.  Hello, quinoa, blueberries, raisins, almonds, and honey!
