Substantially longer than that. Cross country.

Hopefully a short stop tomorrow. Longer stops starting Tuesday.
Week 3 and on we have a lot more doing and less driving. We also scheduled stops in the drive-through states we did now for the final week, if we don't need more time in the West.

Day 3

Day 3: Monday/ June 17

States: Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan
Miles driven: 419
Total trip miles to date: 1,232
Notable stops: Milwaukee: Harley Davidson Museum
Time Zone: CDT to EDT

We started out in Chicago this morning with 97° temps. We're now in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and it's 58°.

Last three hours of today's drive was on County roads. Wisconsin ran out of names apparently... some roads were named single letters.

UP is the best. You aren't doubling back to Mackinac are you?

When you get to see what's out West, you'll be glad you didn't stop.

Into Canada or across Dakota?
South Dakota is my recommendation.

Such a good idea to road trip through UP
Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.
