Well, what happened? Can't just leave people hanging like that!
Ok... as I was heading down to the highway to hitchhike to the bike shop in Houghton (keep in mind there's not much traffic between the Porcupines and Houghton!), I saw a bike pull into the campground, then a tandem, then a couple more bikes, and finally a sag wagon. So I headed over to their campsite and explained my problem. They didn't have a stem, but they were about to break camp and drive home. One of the riders sold me the stem off her bike and I was on my way!
