The other day, my day job dictated that I go to Ann Arbor Municipal Airport for refresher training.

My bike was in the shop on a recall, so I borrowed (stole?) my wife’s bike and took the highways to get up there on time.

After a quick tour of the tower, we made our way through the training.

After completion of the course, I decided to take backroads home.

I did find that Michigan backroads tend to turn into gravel and dirt with very little warning. Also, a “highway” isn’t necessary paved.

On the way into Tecumseh, I stopped at Meyers-Divers Airport for a photo op.

I’d ridden to Tecumseh to find a new hot dog joint called “The Dog House.” An employee described it as “Subway, but with hot dogs.” It was a good hot dog. Not at all healthy, but it was delicious.

I walked around the downtown area to check out a few metal sculptures like this velociraptor.

On my way back home from St. Louis, I stopped at a restaurant called Blue Springs.

The restaurant was featured on “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” on Food Network because they are known for their “Foot-Hi Pies.”
