I’m Jim and I live in both Tucson and Central IL. I am 68 and just finished the OTET with a friend I met on these forums. It was great so thought I would post this even though its short notice. Probably starting from Grand Haven area but still unclear. I will be in Ludington MI to catch the 9 am ferry to Manitowok on Sunday June 15. I purchased the ACA digital route and hope to complete North Lakes route through northern WI to Conover, along southern portion of the UP to Mackinaw, hop over to island on ferry, then south back to Grand Haven. Family in Grand Junction and I am flying out of GRR. My best guess on mileage is about 875 from Ludington full circle not counting ferry ride. Not sure either how I am getting back to Grand Junction, might have to ride but looking for alternative. Like to try it in 14 days or so? Might be overly optimistic. I can be flexible somewhat.
