Day 1 went pretty well, though slightly not to plan.   The drive up to Muskegon from Cincinnati was mostly fine, though, the final stretches are a bit of a hassel.  The driver quality in Michigan really amps up in intensity (as in forcing you to do 80 mph) once I got on I-94 approaching Grand Rapids and nearly all the way to Muskegon.  There's an aweful stretch in Grand Rapids where its' fairly curvy and the upkeep isn't great, and its still marked 70 mph.  Ugh.   Muskegon was hopping for the first time in my 3 visits.  There was a charity run this morning, and then a minor league baseball game, which, the opposing team is staying at my hotel.  I did manage to take a bit of a drive around including Lake Michigan beach ERT.  So, I don't post about this often, but I do live with a fairly significant digestive condition.  I've had it for about 20 years, and I'm mostly feeling good most days now, but today was the one day it decided to give me a headache, literally.  I got randomly dehydrated, so I had to keep it simple for dinner.  There's a decent simple burger joint in Muskegon called the Station Grill that I always stop at, but I'll probably leave that until after MIA tomorrow.  I only intend to eat like snacks or similar things at MIA with a useless meal plan and their menu is pretty abysmal.  Luckily, there's a fantastic breakfast only hole-in-the-all place in Muskegon, too called Toast N' Jams, another one of my Muskegon staples.  There's another park by Muskegon Bay I always stop at and I'll do that either before or after MIA tomorrow (it's really nice at sunset).   Here are some photos of Lake Michigan ERT.

Has anyone seen what's going on around 11pm at the pickup area? Cops flooded the area with sirens on and even more cops were arriving flying down the road to KI

There is a new sign in front of the former 5D cinema area    “Something new is coming, you can bet on it” 

What if...🤔😅

I miss the meet & greets with the Hanna-Barbera characters and especially the Hanna-Barbera carousel! 🎠
