But I'm ahead of myself. We are out of the Midwest and into the North woods!! You know you've crossed that vague border when gas stations start having big stuffed bears in the corner of their stores and the men start having grizzly Adams beards. We have definitely crossed that border.
Two days ago we nearly got caught in a very bad storm. We were flying along through the heart of Wisconsin. Clouds had been gathering all day but we had been assured by a store clerk that the storm wouldn't break for another several hours...well yeah it didn't wait that long. We were about 5 miles outside of the next town and the sky behind us turned green. The wind started kicking up and the rain started coming down. We rode faster =) we came flying into the town at 30 miles per hour on flat ground (very fast) the sirens started going off. Thankfully the local gas station let us take shelter till it blew over, but it was all very exciting I assure you.
Today's highlight was seeing the world's biggest soup kettle. Don't believe me? See picture below.
This is a scene from Minnesota. It kinda captures a lot of what we saw on our ride....a lot of farms.
This is Cascade Falls in the heart of a little town in Wisconsin. It was a pleasant surprise to find this gorgeous waterfall on a day when we did not really get anywhere due to construction and detours.
Oh yeah. It's big.
Woohoo Michigan!! Next stop Canada =) you didn't know this was an international trip did you? Well it is
That's all for now, my esteemed collegue, Andrew, is wanting to hit the road, and to be honest we should really be rolling or we'll run out of daylight.
Till next time,
Nate
