I took a less than direct route to breakfast and grabbed pictures of the 1908 State Theater and a local girl with one name along the way.

Online reviews had indicated that the Uptown Grill was Bay City's best breakfast spot and a local I chatted with last evening reinforced it. This morning, I verified it. Some my know that I frequently order French toast in restaurants. One reason for that is it's something I almost never fix at home. The menu here offers quite a selection from which I chose the truly decadent Baklava French Toast. What the menu calls "phyllo crumbs", I'd call "chunks". It was excellent.

After breakfast, I quickly reached the eastern end of my target highway, US-10.

The Tridge was the only point of interest I had marked in the GPS for today. It is a Y-style footbridge that crosses both the Tittabawassee and Chippewa Rivers in a beautiful park with river access, bike & foot paths, and more. I believe mine was the only vehicle in the lot with neither a bike rack nor kayaks strapped on top.

After spotting the "Couple" from the center of the Tridge, I walked over to meet them and see things from their point of view.


Much of this section of US-10 is divided 4-lane, but it did eventually become 2-lane, and there was even a short detour around some repair work in Scottville..

I will continue on US-10 tomorrow, but this was as far as I could go today.

I ended the day in this room at the conveniently located Blue Spruce Inn.
