...Petersburg, Mich., some 20 miles southeast. Fringe-topped surreys and jerry-built vehicles of varying durability fill out the party. The passengers are instant minor celebrities in each small town they pass. Villagers look, wave, offer plates of homemade cookies and other food, and sometimes get bitten by the bug and join up.
