<p>The entire way from Madison to Milwaukee was on an amazing (tolled?!?!) bike
trail. Some parts were full of happy people, and some stretches I would go for
dozen of miles without seeing another human, except for one car that followed me
and really creeped me out.</p>
<p>Coming into Milwaukee was rocky. I lost my notebook and shoes from the back
of my bike.</p>
<p>But I had a connection here! My friend Mike, who was the other outsider at
the South Dakota family reunion, had a musician friend who could put me up. So I
stayed in the gracious company of Matt and Julia and their school age daughter.
They thought I was arriving on a <em>motorcycle</em> bicycle and so were
confused by my timeframes (how could it take him 3 hours from there??) but were
incredibly welcoming. I decided to head to Chicago for a few days while they
hold my stuff. (Taking the train from Milwaukee because biking through city
sprawl is the worst.)</p>
