Ann Arbor to Chelsea

The Chelsea Express stopped in one of its namesake towns on Day 6 -- Chelsea, MI:

Our first stop in Chelsea is by "The Chelsea Depot". A section with old building nicely rehabbed. As we pull around the corner to hookup with wifi, we pass in infamous Chelsea home of Jiffy Cornbread Mix. The coffee shop previously mentioned is a walk back in time (Coffee/Chelsea Historical Museum). The Congdon brothers, who came from Chelsea, MA in the 1780's settled Chelsea MI. They divided the land in half, and called it Chelsea.

We stay for 2 hours, and move onto the Wolverine Pub to catch the first half of Sunday football. While there was find out that the Cubs are playing St Louis in a day game on Monday in Chicago. Our next goal is set. Even if we can"t get a ticket, we can hit a bar around the stadium. We stop at Wiggens Beach State Park, Sawyer, MI 70 miles from Chicago.
