Day 1

Sunday, June 15

We left home around 8:15am and stopped for the night at 8:00pm Michigan time. A 12-hour day to do about 517 miles. We have already crossed over into the Central time zone so we’ve gained 1 hour. The trip so far has been pretty uneventful. Gas has cost us $145 dollars, but we still have ¾ of a tank. We paid $4.39/gal in the UP and $4.19/gal in Wisconsin. We found a National Forest Campground just inside Wisconsin, so that’s where we stayed. Hopefully the mosquitoes won’t carry us away. Just trying to put as many miles as possible into a day at this point. Just getting us closer to Alaska. The highlight of the whole day was a scrumptious ice cream cone in Florence, Wisconsin.
