Last Thursday I met Rick to exchange the suitcase... the plan was to enjoy a cup of coffee at Traverse City's iconic Clinch Park; but the weather did not cooperate. After days in the 60's our meet was met with a strong north wind, sleet & snow. The exchange was brief - and I felt my depressed mood was echoed by Rick.... so today was 'redo' day.

After photos at Clinch, we travelled north up M-22 to Suttons Bay where we visited South Beach - it was just us. When we arrived home Jimmy & Fozzie gave the case a good sniff and deemed it 'safe enough' to be in proximity for a photo. The next adventure is in the offing... stay tuned!
