Written by Kim Our drive today was a little over four hours and took us to another new state for both of us – South Dakota. The drive was mostly through prairies again with more hay bales but some windmills too. We’re starting to see a little more cattle as we get further south where […]

Written by Kim Our trip from Duluth to Fargo was a little over 5 hours. North Dakota is another new state for both of us. The drive was very rural with some small towns here and there. We know we’re now in the west because we crossed the Mississippi River. We passed lots of farms […]

Written by Kim The drive today took us west from the Upper Peninsula on part of Highway 2 into Wisconsin on our way to Duluth. We drove about 5 hours through areas of very spotty cell service which meant we also didn’t have Sirius radio. We learned that we have to restrict our fluid intake […]

Written by Kim We took the Mackinaw Bridge to head further northwest to the upper peninsula in MI. Driving over the bridge we had Lake Huron on one side and Lake Michigan on the other. It was a clear drive of about 2 1/2 hours to get to our next destination, Munising, MI. It was […]

Written by Kim We left Elkhart, IN on Sunday morning to head north through Michigan to Mackinaw City. I got a chance to get my own picture of the Indiana sign because I missed the Michigan sign so we had to turn around to get it. My photo skills are abysmal. Our drive was a […]

Written by Kim As we travel we look a few days out to plan our next stop. We knew we would be in Indiana on Friday and Alex realized that Notre Dame had a home game and it was against a smaller school, NIU – Northern Illinois, so there were tickets available at a reasonable […]

Written by Kim It’s a little cooler this morning as we leave Toledo heading to Indiana. Rain came in overnight so we needed to get some pants out to wear. The weather is a bit iffy so we didn’t rush to get started today. We again took no toll roads for a $12 savings in […]

Written by Kim We continued west as we left Pittsburgh. We drove about 5 hours – a bit longer than you might expect because Alex routed us north to drive along Lake Erie rather than taking the interstate. It was a nice drive going through some small downtowns with lots of different types of homes […]

Written by Kim Our drive in was about 4 1/2 hours because we decided to take a no toll road route – we’re not in a hurry what’s an extra hour to avoid the trucks and traffic on the PA turnpike. It was quite foggy as we road along the river. Pittsburgh is the 2nd […]

Written by Kim When we left NJ it felt more like the start of our trip but it’s already day 5 since we left home. We traveled 2 1/2 hours through Nj to Lancaster City, PA. We didn’t do the typical Amish tour we went into the city. Our first stop was the central market […]
