It's a little over 1400 miles and I've done this exact trip once before.

I go to Toledo and eat at Tony Packo's

Stay in Dundee and go to Milan Dragway for the Detroit Reunion

Henry Ford Village one day and Henry Ford Museum in the morning of the 2nd day

Then up to Torch Lake because it has water that looks like you're in the Caribbean

Stop in St Ignace and eat a Smoked Lake Trout at Manley's Fish Market Manley's Fish Market | Saint Ignace MI

Enjoy the shoreline while driving West on Highway 2

Spend the night in Escanaba, MI and eat some great pancakes at Rosy's Diner Rosy's Diner Escanaba | Escanaba MI

Stop at Lambeau Field and eat some tasty food in Green Bay

Down to Kenosha and hang out for a few days. I love Kenosha in the summer, and stay away from it in the Winter. LOL

Load up some groceries at Tunta's Deli Tenuta's Deli | A Kenosha Tradition Since 1950 and then head for home.

That’s the truth.
People at our lake, which is in the forest. Thank goodness isn’t in danger of fire yet. Take their city to the lake. There never was grass there. They bring in top soil either lay sod or seed it. Water it mow it. Come back to the City and tell their coworkers HOW much work they did!. Not sure if they were boasting or whining.
I said if I had to take a lawn mower to the lake, we would sell the cabin. That was 49 years ago. I did use a grass whip at times.

Funny, I have never replaced the rear shoes on my Dakota.
177,000 miles and it still doesn't need them!
...and yes, they are engaging.

Got to thinking that I never had to replace the rear shoes on my 95 either but it 'only' has 106k miles but my X drove it a bunch and the front disc brakes would always had a pulsation on the fronts every time she drove it. Hard on the gas and brake at the latest possible moment was her mantra.....
 
Smoking a pork butt and cubed pork belly for dinner. I normally never wrap my pork but I got started late and need this to finish by 830pm.

Dakotas are real bad about warping front rotors.

Especially if you don't torque the lug nuts properly.

I found that out prior to my third set of rotors, and now that problem is gone and those rotors have been on for years and years.
 
Another work weekend up at our favorite music festival site. 500’ and some feet of sidewalk through the kids hill area, and some live edge stone benches for the travelers. Also put some cutesie to the green room on the back of the songwriters stage.

You didn't stop in Hurley, Wisconsin. just across the border from Michigans U.P.
 
We enjoyed having a small garden last year, so I decided to increase the size this year. It was small, so I tripled the area, with some scrap metal I had laying around. I got the old "steel back hoe, and loader out, along with the 1-wheel dump cart. I had to break up an old dirt pile for the top soil, and 12 loads later, it was done. I knew I should have bought that tractor last year when I was thinking of it...
