Michigan

I have been to Michigan a few times.

When I was young, we would visit relatives in Lansing, so I became somewhat familiar with that area. I am sure that it has changed a lot since then.

A few years ago, my 2 youngest daughters and I toured parts of the state.

We entered the state on US 2 from Wisconsin and then traveled to a small town, whose name I can't remember along Lake Superior. We took a side trip deep into the woods and ended up witht 2 flat tires (and only one spare). Some loggers came along and helped us get back to the town, where we paid an excessive price for new tires. It seems that the people there don't care much for strangers and take advantage of them.

We then traveled up route 26 to Houghton and stayed in the Calumet area.

Next, we headed down US 42, route 28, route 77 and US 2 to the Mackinaw Bridge. The beaches in Northern Michigan were unimpressive, but full of people.

We followed I-75 through Detroit and entered Ohio at Toledo.

Other than viewing the Great Lakes, Michigan doesn't have a lot to offer.
