Moving on to Michigan
The ninth state of the trip — a clouded-out aurora watch at McLain State Park, a north wind that turned Lake Superior into a beach overnight, then the Keweenaw: 19 tons of native copper at the Seaman Mineral Museum, a cog railway down into Quincy Mine, and 360-degree views from Brockway…

Wisconsin
Four nights on Lake Superior’s South Shore — dinner at a social club in Bayfield, the Wallflowers at The Big Top with hometown friends of 35 years, four pounds of blueberries we never meant to pick, and a five-mile hike above the sea caves at Meyers Beach…

Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes
E-bikes on the paved trails of Itasca and a walk straight across the Mississippi, then a third national park at Voyageurs — eight hours and 55 miles among three-billion-year-old islands, and a twilight cruise at sunset…

Minot, the Rally, and the Peace Garden
Six nights of dry camping at the Airstream International Rally, where 986 Airstreams filled the lots around us — and then, for something a little more peaceful, a night under dark skies in the International Peace Garden…

The Badlands of North Dakota
A two night stop in Medora — a musical on a stage that opens to the buttes at sunset, the 36-mile scenic loop through Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and the Presidential Library that opened this July 4th…

Red Lodge and the Beartooth
Wes, Hailey, and Ben towed in from Missoula to side-by-side river front sites, and together we climbed one of America’s most scenic drives — topping out near 10,900 feet with hidden lakes and alpine vistas as far as the eye can see…

Travel Days and Rest Days
The wildest winds kicked up and we watched a fire develop right where we meant to stop for the night. Days later, a site alongside Rock Creek in the Custer National Forest where, for the first time in nearly two weeks, we rested…

Pikes Peak and Jellystone
A bald spot on a tire, a surprise destination, and the Cog Railway climbing 7,800 feet to the top of Pikes Peak. We traveled three states and two National Parks for a total of 1,500 miles in 8 days…

Great Sand Dunes National Park
Continuing our journey with the girls, we traveled the short distance to Great Sand Dunes National Park. I predict they will remember the blowing sand more than the actual sledding…

Bats, Caverns, and Junior Rangers
