The Traveler - Michigan

If you have ever traveled the width of PA on 81 and thought it was a boring drive well you have no idea what boring is until you have driven Interstate 80 from here to the Ohio border. Most of the area is called the Pennsylvania Wilds. There is a good reason for that name....there is absolutely nothing there, barely a town...no landmarks to speak of for about 2-3 hours. UGH!!!

So we left Saturday morning, destination Port Huron, MI which is where Troy's ship is based. The whole drive takes about 8 hrs with stops. I have to give some credit to the Ohio turnpike. They really put some $$ into their rest stops. I mean, Burger King, KFC/Pizza Hut, Panera Bread, Starbucks....all in one building. lol

We passed through Detroit so I don't really have any pics of the city. Wouldn't you know that we get on the other side and about 6 Mile Road (remember Eminem's movie "8 Mile") Zack says he has to go to the bathroom. Ummm, you're gonna have to wait until we get to 13 Mile lol.

Most of the photos were taken at The Henry Ford Museum and for those and others you can click HERE

You know how hard it is to stick to a diet when you are away from home for three days eating out 2-3 meals each day?? lol I gained back 6 that I had lost.
