With a Summer trip to Europe now off the table, I have been pondering a car trek around the Great Lakes. Basically, strap a canoe on the roof of the wagon, put the bike on a rack, and start driving. I consider going south of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, swinging around Lake Ontario to hit a couple small towns on the north side of the lake, then heading northwest before I get to Toronto, hitting the north side of Lake Huron, then to Mackinack, Michigan, going north of L.Superior around to Thunder Bay, then to Duluth, back arcoss the U.P., and home to Western Pennsylvania.
Scanning AirBnB rates for these small towns, it looks like I would be paying $50(US) per night or less on average, and getting 40+mpg with the wagon, it could be a nice, inexpensive 2-weeks.
Anybody know of any "must see" little towns or parks that are more-or-less on this route? The focus will be hiking, biking, canoing, and photography, with probably half a dozen wineries along the way.
