Hi Craig,

If your time, budget, and inclination is flexible enough, I suggest hopping
off I94 and cutting across Minnesota's Iron Range through northern Wisconsin
and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Between Lake Superior and the forest areas,
well, it might be a refreshing break. It always seems to do our souls some
good.

Tom mentioned Sturgis - in 2004 we ended up swinging the wanderwagen through
for a day after a Yellowstone / Devil's Tower visit. It was a lot of fun,
even the search for camping. We've never done I94, only I90, so I can't
offer comparisons on that part of the route.

If you do stick to I94 or I90 and you think you'll land in the Twin Cities
drop me a line (if we're not camping!) to talk all things Vanagon.

Travel well,

-Julia
