We set out this morning for Portage. Ken had an appointment with a dentist there to get a crown installed. Once that was taken care of, we turned to fun. The southern trailhead for the Portage Bicentennial Trail was only half a mile from the dentist's office. We parked in the library parking lot and headed north on the trail, which was nicely paved all the way.
Shortly after we started our ride, we came upon a doe and fawn. They paid no attention to us. The fawn nonchalantly ate a flower as we watched. Ken had plenty of time to take photos. Clearly these deer are very familiar with people.
The trail runs more or less along Portage Creek.
At one point the trail runs under I-94. We were amused by the trail sign in the underpass.
We rode to the northern end of the trail and then turned back south. We visited the Celery Flats Historical District and rode part of the Millennium Trail, for a total of only 10.4 miles today. At that point we were hungry, so we went to Franco's Italian Pizzeria for lunch.
