Barry,
I've often thought about driving around Lake Superior.  I live in
Michigan's LP, but I went to college at Michigan Tech in the Keweenaw in
the UP.  I've also driven in parts of Northern Ontario as a friend
(fellow Vanagon owner) has a cabin in Martin River.  I remember the last
time I was there, his dog got confused about which Vanagon to jump into
when we were getting ready to leave...

Have you driven the entire North Coast?

Thanks!  - Duane

Then, go tent for a couple of nights at Wavel Bay.  You will have to drive over 40km of gravel road to Lake Superior shoreline, then hike 7 k to Wavel Bay where the sand beach is simply amazing and very private.  If the weather is hot, even Lake Superior is swimmable!
