after seeing that michigan road trip in here a few weeks ago and having had a fascination with the state for a while now, i've decided that (despite the recent unfavorable change in gas prices) i will hopefully be embarking on this journey at some point this year, most likely solo. it'll be my first true road trip as i've never even left the northeast US before. i'm not sure yet whether to take the trip in early august (i'll get to meet up with a friend in chicago and have more favorable weather) or late september (when the leaves start turning and there isn't bugs everywhere), so some advice on that would be well appreciated. i have a lot of other spots saved, but google has a limit on the stops you can add to a single trip, so this is just a rough estimate of the route i'll be taking. i don't want to be given every single spot because i think discovering cool things along the trip will be part of the fun, but if there's any details i should know about the route or specific places i NEED to stop, all would be appreciated. also lmk if the wisconsin stop is worth it or if i should go crazy and also stop in northern minnesota while i'm at it. i'm open to any suggestions fr.
i'm hoping to camp in my car (mazda6) for the first time rather than rely on hotels for most of the trip so if y'all have car camping tips or know some beautiful places that i can park overnight along the route that would also be amazing #travel #activities source
