Dear Andy,
Yes, of course it can - how else could I plan my trip?
I have it all mapped out on a AAA online triptik.
I will be driving from Pittsburgh to Cleveland then
Toledo, then Detroit. From Detroit northwest across
the Lower Peninusula to Glen Arbor. Will visit Cherry
Republic and camp overnight at Sleeping Bear Dunes National
Lakeshore.

Day 2 tour SLBNL then head to Traverse City and
tour Old Mission Peninsula. Next to Mackinaw City and
over Mackinac Bridge to Upper Peninsula to Grand Marais.
Camp overnight at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

Day 3 head west across norther UP to Wisconsin. Across
northern WI to Duluth and then north along Lake Superior
to Silver Bay and then inland to Ely, MN. Camp overnight
near Ely in Superior National Forest.

Day 4 visit Soudan Iron Mine State Park and take neutrino
lab tour and mine tour. Head to Fargo, ND. Meet Lynn for
dinner. Camp overnight somewhere in Fargo area.

Day 5 - North to Grand Forks then west to Rugby to the
geographic center on North America. Continue west the
south to Garrison area and camp at Lake Sakakawea State
Park.

Day 6 - Then south to Bismark and west to Regent. South
on "Enchanted Highway" and then back north to I-94 and
continue west to Billings, MT. Camp overnight somewhere
near Billings.

Day 7 - South to Red Lodge and the Beartooth Scenic
Highway through northern Yellowstone in WY and back
up into MT. Then west and north to Hamilton and my
sister.

Ha! Bet you thought I couldn't do it! To be continued . . .
