Alternator fails in flight. Flying over Upper Peninsula, MI

Taking off in the Bonanza V35B, on an a beautiful early summer morning from Harbor Springs, MI. Flying along the shores of Lake Michigan across the Straights of Mackinac to the Upper Peninsula. After a quick fuel stop at Newberry, Luce County Airport, we fly to the northern shore of UP and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and take in some stunning views of the scenery. As we climb to cruising altitude, heading west, we started noticing a weird smell in the cockpit. We immediately diverted to the nearest practical airport, and while doing so, the alternator failed. As in any emergency (or close to emergency) situation, there were many things I could have done differently, but ultimately we landed safely in Rhinelander, WI without too much drama.
