Lonely Planet (LP) has an edition just for the great lakes and may be of great assistance in
planning your trip.  It may cover the CDN side too, not sure, but if not, then there is LP CDA.

If I were you (which I'm not), I'd head north and take the ferry from Sandusky to Ontario
(there-by skipping Detroit unless you want to see the Ford museum) with a visit to Point Pelee
Nat'l Park.    As an aside, and en-route to Sandusky, if you like gardens and nice old estates,
I'd (again) visit Akron and the Stan Hywet, the home Frank A. Seiberling, (one of the founders of
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company), (www.stanhywet.org) as it is a wonderful place.

Anyway, then I'd head up north and take in a play at the Shakespeare festival in Stratford and
then farther north out on the Bruce Penn. (several parks there) and then a ferry over to the
Manitoulin Islands then east to SSM and then start your trip either clock or counter-clockwise
around Lake Superior.  Be sure to include the Pictured Rocks, Isle Royal, Apostle Islands &
Pukaskwa parks.  If you head back home down the western coast of lower Michigan, there is the
Sleeping Bear Dunes park, and lots of car museums in lower Mich.

We were down your way last summer visiting the mounds.  Anything else I can tell you??  Malcolm
