I have re-routed my July/August trip out west due to heat.
Originally, my 1st stop was to be St Louis to visit an old friend, but now I am taking a more northern route.
Gonna chase OSS & eric on US-12 all the way out
MI, IN, IL, WI, MN, ND, SD, MT, UT then WY
It may be 10 - 15 degrees cooler in the North...
US-12 starts in my backyard, runs to Washington.
US-12 is among the oldest road corridors east of the Mississippi River and accesses some of the most extensive and significant historic, cultural, scenic and recreational resources in Michigan. It begins in downtown Detroit, just blocks from the Detroit River, and extends through southern Michigan to the Michigan/Indiana border south of New Buffalo. It was originally a network of centuries-old trails created by Native Americans. Over the years it has had many names such as Sauk Trail, Chicago Road, and Michigan Avenue.
