We slept in this morning because the lodge didn't start serving breakfast until 8:00AM and we were told we would have to bicycle 28 miles to get to another restaurant. Of course, we were awake by 5:00AM - go figure! We had a wonderful breakfast and enjoyed talking with Sue and Barb. Once again we are finding that the people are so kind and friendly. If you are ever in the Marcell area we would definitely recommend the Timberwolf Lodge for food, drinks, and lodging! Barb told her husband (the cook) that he has to prepare something good for us with a lot of protein. It was certainly good!
John checking out the route!
We started out bicycling about 8:50AM and had a very nice day with beautiful blue skies and no wind. The traffic wasn't to bad until we got close to Grand Rapids and then it picked up. We are checked into a Americinn Inn and went swimming and got the chance to update the blog. When we came to the hotel the gal quoted us a price for the room and we decided that we would look elsewhere because it was more than we wanted to spend and three other hotels within a few blocks. As we started to walk away she said "oh, wait - we do have a special going on". She then quoted us the same dang room for $30.00 cheaper. Now why the heck can't they give you that price to begin with. As I am sitting in the lobby two other couples have checked in and they are paying the original price (not the special). I have all I can do to sit her and not say anything about it. Talk about frustrating! We lucked out as there was a laundry room just two doors down from our hotel room so I was able to do laundry and make some phone calls while waiting for the laundry to dry. Also, there was a computer in the lobby so I was able to update our blog.
