Walk to Mackinac - Day 2

Team Steps

Wednesday rained all day and proved to be a bad day for walking. Nevertheless, a few walkers didn't mind getting their feet wet, and the team was able to accomplish 10.4 miles. They stayed close to the lake, and passed the AmeriStar and Majestic Star Casinos in Indiana.  The day's journey finished up close to I65 in the hometown of Michael Jackson, and eponymous location of the popular song from "The Music Man", Gary Indiana.

After a slight detour off 95th, they continued east on 100th street to Calumet Beach Park for a nice view of Lake Michigan.
