We also stepped back in time to 1995ContinueContinue reading “Day 8 – Copper Harbor, Michigan to Paradise, Michigan”

Do you want a beautiful view with lots ofContinueContinue reading “Day 4 – Fargo, ND to Duluth, MN”
Day 2 – Butte, MT to Medora, ND

After a breakfast of a bagel, yogurt and fruit (andContinueContinue reading “Day 2 – Butte, MT to Medora, ND”
