		<description><![CDATA[There was a nice-looking Minnesota dairy barn on the other side of the road from my resting place at Oaks Lake. But as I got closer, I saw that it was a former dairy barn. The place looked like it may have been an active farmstead recently, but no longer. Four miles north there was <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2009/07/28/little-homestead-on-a-tiny-island/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday&#8217;s ride, as usual I stopped briefly at the site of the Door Village fort that had been built during the Black Hawk war. Since the last time I was here a wooden sign had been added to complement the stone marker that had been erected in 1909. And it looks like the owners <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2009/07/01/door-village-fort-2/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend I salvaged three days of what was supposed to have been a week-long outing. The first day I rode to Bristol, IN (70 miles). We spent most of the second at the Elkhart County Historical Museum and a historic house, ending with a 30 mile ride. On the 3rd I rode 39 miles, <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2009/06/30/joliet-road/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

This is a map of Michigan Road Lands from the Indiana State Library. I&#8217;ve drawn the route between Door Village and Westville on it.

		<description><![CDATA[The first time I rode southwest from Niles, Michigan along Black Hawk&#8217;s old trail, was in 1997 or 1998. I had sampled some of the Sauk Trail in Michigan (US-12) and found the road in poor repair &#8212; not pleasant to ride on in many places. Much of it has since been resurfaced, and is <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2008/03/25/chicago-trail-to-hudson-lake/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When news of the Black Hawk war reached Indiana and Michigan in the spring of 1832, settlers came together for mutual protection and started to build forts. This location in LaPorte County, Indiana, is one where a fort was not just started, but actually built. It even got some use as a staging place for <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2008/03/22/door-village-fort/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

It&#8217;s the road Black Hawk used to take in the 1820s when he went back to his home on the Mississippi after visiting Fort Malden in Canada, and it&#8217;s <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2008/01/28/the-sauk-trail-in-door-prairie/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
