I circled Lake Michigan clockwise last year in an '85 Cabriolet.  In northern Wisconson I developed brake slave cylinder leak and so
looked in every town of any size (not very many of them) and could not find the parts in stock until I got to Grand Rapids, MI.  My
gut feeling . . . a fantastic trip, but you're largely self-sufficient in a VW in the UP.  Enjoy.
