We travelled from the base of the thumb to the tip of the little finger this weekend.
If this means nothing to you, you clearly haven't been introduced to Michigandan geography. You see, the state of Michigan (or at least the lower peninsula, the only part anyone ever talks about) is conveniently shaped like a glove. So whenever Michiganders want to explain where somewhere is, they simply hold up their right hand, palm forward, and point to the relative position.
Having traversed the state from east to west and back again (a distance of about 700 miles) in the space of 48 hours, I could now claim to know Michigan like the back of my hand. But that would be incorrect, of course: I only know the front.
