Interstate Road Trips

Upper Midwest Trip (June 22, 2003 through July 18, 2003)

With Whom: Steven

I was curious to see what the upper midwest had to offer, including the adjacent Canadian provinces, so I took my brother along to visit sights historic and scenic. Highlights included portions of the beautiful shorelines along Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, the waterfalls of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the historic re-enactments at Old Fort William in Thunder Bay, the wildlife at Riding Mountain, Prince Albert and Theodore Roosevelt National Parks and the experience of night time in Chicago's Near North area.
