Lake Superior/Michigan/Huron Circle Tours
 

Goodbye everyone, tomorrow morning (Thursday) I'm leaving on what should be a 1700-mile road trip around Lake Superior. I'll be doing this in 5 days, Thursday through Monday. I should be back Monday evening assuming I don't swerve to avoid a moose in Canada and end up in the lake upside down. Have a great weekend and wish me good weather! I'll probably be sending pics along the way to certain people (if the capability is available up there, which is may very well not be) and maybe they'll be nice enough to post pictures for me.

Sweet! Have fun man. Drive safe. Sounds like an awesome trip but a lot of driving.

Re: Goodbye
 

Have fun! I just came back through the michigan UP yesterday. I hadn't went that way and it was pretty cool. You do get in the boonies up there though! Make sure to fill up fairly often, not many gas stations in some spots. I did 1400 miles in 34 hours, so you should be fine!

Re: Goodbye
 

What car? Why for? Who with? Will you need a passport?

Re: Goodbye
 

S2000, because its more fun than sitting in a cubicle, a female companion, no*.

*Either a birth certificate or passport is needed along with a photo ID (driver's license). I have opted to carry my passport instead of my birth certificate.

I'm heading out as soon as I get the windows cleaned and the car spray-detail, adios homies!

Re: Goodbye
 

Have fun and a safe drive. Hope to see some great photos.

Re: Goodbye
 

Dont forget to visit the Mystery Spot. if you see it, go to it, thats all i got to say.

Re: Goodbye
 

Looking at your title, I thought you were calling me out or something. Have a good trip, drop over and see Marco while you're up there.

Re: Goodbye
 

Have fun - can't wait to see pictures when you return!!

Hughes just sent me this:

Re: Goodbye
 

Dude... have a great time, sounds fun as hell.

Re: Goodbye
 

Oh that bastard. Now I have a craving for a Anchor Burger.

Re: Goodbye
 

I agree, I think that will be lunch tomorrow.

Re: Goodbye
 

Is the Mystery Spot any good? I went right by there on my way back from MI.

Re: Goodbye
 

Who cares what race she is, as long as she's hot. But, knowing hughes, she's portly and homely.

Re: Goodbye
 

Good luck, Have fun! :)

Re: Goodbye
 

Sounds like a good time. I would like to make a trip like that sometime.

You and a female huh...lots of driving....road head....:)

Re: Goodbye

Re: Goodbye
 

^Ain't that the bridge going over the Lake Superior? I was up there once trucking with my uncle years back looks like it.

Re: Goodbye
 

Thats the Mackinac Bridge it conects upper and lower Michigan

Re: Goodbye
 

sounds like a fun trip.. so what is the mystery spot?

Re: Goodbye
 

I am with Carl, I just went across it a few days ago.

Re: Goodbye
 

They also just had a special on that bridge, I think it was History Channel. Quite a piece of engineering.

Re: Goodbye
 

S2k goes for a boat ride!

Re: Goodbye
 

Topless FTW! :)

Looks like a good time!

Re: Goodbye
 

Wow nice boat...um mystery women needs to turn around!

Re: Goodbye
 

HOLY FUCK! That was the best 1810 miles in 5 days ever! We had great weather most of the time, experienced amazing roads, scenery, and wildlife, and top-down 75% of the trip. We have 200+ pictures so I'll see if I can get a gallery setup within the next few days.

Thurs night: Houghton, MI
Fri night: Mackinaw City, MI
Sat night: Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
Sun night: Thunder Bay, Ontario

I drank my fair share of alcohol, ate lots of greasy "local" foods, and VTEC'ed through some breath-taking area. Some of the scenery and roads in the UP and Ontario make MN's best seem like a complete joke.

The bridge pictured above is the Mackinac Bridge connecting the UP of MI to mainland MI, it is 5 miles long with a toll of $2.50/car. There was another large bridge to get into Canada, that had a toll of $2/car.

The S took a ferry ride to some small island in the UP that only had 1 main road, luckily there happened to be a local bar on that road where we enjoyed some lunch and awesome restrooms that were behind curtains.

Our longest day was Sunday going from Sault Ste. Marie to Thunder Bay (entire Lake Superior Canadian shoreline), we traveled about 450 miles.

Re: Goodbye
 

Sounds like a blast!

Re: Goodbye
 

That does sound like an awesome trip!! I wish I would have had some time off so we could have made the drive too.

Re: Goodbye
 

If you can ever take a few days off work I highly recommend the drive to anyone looking for a great road trip.

Re: Goodbye
 

I'll look foward to the photos you post up. And yes I agree sounds like you had a blast.

Re: Goodbye
 

What did you do Saturday? It doesn't look that far... i.e. between:
Fri night: Mackinaw City, MI
Sat night: Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario

Re: Goodbye
 

Mackinaw is a big tourist area for Michigan. Did you see Tom's Mystery Spot?
