Continuing our road trip blog entries after fixing my laptop which broke while we were traveling. Day 18 – Detroit metro area to Cleveland to visit a friend and go to church.

On our way home from the great multi-colored north, we spent a few days visiting with our family in the Detroit metro area.

Last day of travel through Michigan to reach our family’s home in Temperance, MI

Last day in the Upper Peninsula today. After visiting Tahquamenon Falls State Park, we continued to Whitefish Point, and then directly south across the Straits of Mackinac to our campsite on the shore of Lake Huron.

No travel today. We remained in the Munising, MI area, and took a boat tour of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

Leisurely day making our way to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore we will tour tomorrow.

Our journey along the Lake Superior shore from northern Wisconsin to the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness in the upper peninsula of Michigan.

After wandering around the headwaters of the Mississippi this morning, we continued eastward to the Wisconsin shore of Lake Superior.

Continuing our return from western South Dakota, we visited the monuments to Sakagawea and Sitting Bull in Mobridge, SD before continuing through southeastern North Dakota to the headwaters of the Mississippi River at Itasca Lake in central Minnesota. Along the way, we visited the world’s largest “catfish.”

Reflections on our time in South Dakota as we turned eastward across the great plains toward the great north woods.
