Taylor and I decided to take US Rte. 2 all the way from its origin in St. Ignace, MI to its terminus in Sandpoint, ID. That's about 2,000 miles of uninterrupted, mostly 2 lane, completely desolate blacktop. It's an incredible way to see and experience real salt-of-the-earth Americana. It's a road filled with "blink and you'll miss 'em" towns, ma and pa restaurants, and hundred-mile stretches of nothing at all.
Here's the only thing we saw all day...Lake Superior. It was lurking to our right for hours, like a sleeping giant of the abyss.
It was too rainy to camp that night, so we stayed at at Super 8 motel, watched a CSI marathon, ate KFC right from the bucket, and drank some Millers. If that's not a midwest night, I don't know what is.
