Camping trip in Wisconsin with my kids
GLACIAL LAKES MOTORCYCLE CLUB GRAND TOUR - see motorcycle games page or this link for more info.
2027
"IT'S A REFLEX AT THIS POINT" - Black Hills of South Dakota with my kids. I've been out there probably a dozen times by now, but it's what Midwest families do. The kids have not been out that way yet.
"DIAMONDS AND RUST"- Attempt to find the ghost town of Ombabika, and visit Jellicoe (from the song "I've Been Everywhere"). Billy Diamond Highway to Hudson Bay. Technically counts as visiting Nunavut and the Arctic ocean if I go out in a kayak. I'll probably return by riding out of my way to the east and south, through Ottawa, Toronto, and Niagara Falls before looping up through Michigan.
