Lol. Enjoy the Traverse City area. It is a beautiful part of the state. If you have time, check out the Tunnel of Trees on M-119 along the coast of Lake Michigan. Beautiful and fun drive if it is not too busy.<br>

Subject: Re: [T3] Type 34 Karmann Ghia Road trip to Las Vegas...<br>
<br>
Turns out that I'm also "On the Road." I had to prove to myself and my<br>
daughter that I'm still capable of long drives by myself, so I accepted an<br>
invitation to visit some friends who live near the upper west coast of<br>
Michigan. Turns out that they have come down with sore throats, so I'm<br>
currently in a motel in Traverse City, MI.<br>
<br>
Let me know if there are any other Type 3ers in this area. I'll be here for 2-3<br>
days.<br>
<br>
So far, so good. I finally bought a smart phone and, with the help of a lot of<br>
good friends and family, I'm learning my way thru my "beginner's license."<br>
<br>
I came the long way, up to the U.P. and over the top and down the Macinac<br>
Bridge. I'll go back the same way in a few days. I've been here once before,<br>
but that was with my parents, probably in 1958, just after the bridge was<br>
finished in late 1957. The view from the top of the span is quite impressive.<br>
