Since I have about 3 days to get to Chicago from here I decided to take it easy this morning and not be too worried about time. I was going to head towards Ann Arbor and have lunch there while I checked out the campus. This really didn't happen for I didn't leave the hotel till about 1:30pm-ish. It was good to sleep in but it would have been better to bike an extra 20 more miles instead for then I could have camped somewhere closer to the destination I had set up for the following day.
It was fun to see Ann Arbor but I missed the majority of the campus by going down Main Street and transferring over to State Street on the south side of campus. It was very cold, VERY windy (headwind) and kind of hilly making this trip not very fun. I did have my iPod up and working which was a plus, comparative to the five day stint where it was out of battery during my trip through Ontario.
I ended up making it to Irish Hills Campground just on the West side of Clinton. The normal price for camping was $22, which is outrageous for a single tent, but he game be a 'break' and only charged me $15 for the night. That is such a high rate for having someone just pitch a tent and then go with no upkeep or anything. I think I want to open up a chain of parks across the US just for people like myself and only charge $5 per night/per person. Hopefully that would cover all the costs of the land and upkeep (probably not going to happen but it is an idea!).
