The drive along the lake edge is something I'll never forget.  Been from Duluth to Grand Portage a few times.  Family trips growing up.  Before I saw the real thing, Lake Superior was the ocean.  Water under a full moon as far as the eye can see.  Mostly flat yes, but there is a point miles north of Duluth where the road rises on cliffs high enough where my young eyes could see the curvature of the earth.

I love the UP of Michigan. I discovered that a decade before I began roaming around any part of Minnesota. Stopped when I got to Eagle River....liked it so much I took my mother through it on a visit to see her stepson in Duluth.  I ended up in Minnesota the first time leaving from the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and running the US/Canadian border to International Falls. I liked its woods. Isn't there a Jolly Green Giant statue down in the southern end of the state along a big road? I thought that was cool when I found it randomly.

I have traveled I-90 from Seattle to Chicago, but not since this statue was built.

I found it through sheer luck. Got off I-90 looking for a rest stop and there was this figurine a couple stories tall. Nice bathrooms.

My next road trip is Great Basin and Range NP and The Loneliest Highway in America. I've had a few bouts with weird infections in the past year, and I want to see the Redwoods again before I die. And the Grand Coulee Dam. Wouldn't mind doing the Alcan again either.
