Driving in Minnesota, headed toward Mackinac Island

E-GADS...I think every organ in my body is jumbled up...after more than 6 hours on Minnesota highways and side roads. Avoid this state on any trips for the next two years...they have a long way to go. We had multiple, long, hard detours...and when we were actually on their state and interstate roads...they were absolutely horrible. We will be glad to park this thing tonight and stop getting all shook up'. We are not seeing hidden treasures today...and I doubt we will tomorrow, as we head toward Mackinac Island, Michigan. We should arrive Saturday and plan to stay overnight on the island at the Grand Hotel (where they filmed "Somewhere in Time"). The scenery in that movie is absolutely beautiful and I am anxious to experience it myself. We plan to take our bikes with us on the ferry, since there are no automobiles allowed on the island. Can't wait to share our experience with you.

I have photos of Klamath Falls...some 80 years old and some maybe 10 years old! What a wonderful trip you are having!!! Glad y'all tried out "Aqui"....I've never been there!

  2. Annie,
    Thanks for the post...what is "Aqui?" This journey has truly been amazing. I could have stayed on the island (Mackinac) for a very long time. Very cool. Love, Carol and Ken
