neohic Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Looking for some ideas from my Midwest homies. The wife and I always go and do something fun for our anniversary at the beginning of June. It's been a few years since we've hit up the VW show in the MN Metro area so we'd like to hit that up on June 1st. Otherwise we're looking to fill a week or so worth of road trip awesomeness and we're not looking to venture too far from MN. Not picky... Open for opinions... Keep in mind though that we're folksy people who aren't really into anything too fast paced. Been looking at going to the Chicagoish area for a while now. Maybe this is a good time? What's out there? What's some cool stuff to do? Thoughts? 1-2-3-GO!!!
HOrnbrod Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Hit the Archer Bros again. It's always interesting what the results are when you report on your return. Second thought, maybe Mama wouldn't go for it again? Si?

Second thought, maybe Mama wouldn't go for it again? Si? Naw... She saw right through that when I made the suggestion of Duluth again. That's not to say that I don't have at least a few irons in the fire when it comes to those guys though. Currently it's just tying up loose ends on some old business. Been a while since I really soaked up some VW roots so I'm really due. Plans are looking like heading to the other side of the state on Sunday, June 1st for the big MN VW show and then... :dunno:
xjrev10 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Have you explored the northshore of Lake Superior via hwy 61 all the way up to Grand Portage? Get this book. http://www.walmart.com/ip/10844744?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227005160000&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=t&wl3=42153606310&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=38001378310&veh=sem It's worth it. Brittany and I will probably make it a yearly thing to spend a few days exploring up there. Very cool.
neohic Posted April 13, 2014 Author Posted April 13, 2014 Have you explored the northshore of Lake Superior via hwy 61 all the way up to Grand Portage? Last year we made it as far as Silver Bay.

Ok, you didn't see nothing then!! It seems all the sights and scenery gets better the farther up 61 you go. It doesn't seem like it.....it does get better.
neohic Posted April 13, 2014 Author Posted April 13, 2014 Maybe a next year road trip. She's already put the smack down on heading north again as she "doesn't want to go up there just to bring back Jeep parts". :shake: Really leaning towards WI/IL... mostly because I'm not sure she's fully aware of the potential of finding Jeep stuff. :D
xjrev10 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Go visit Door County and catch some salmon and trout! I hope to go this year.
neohic Posted April 21, 2014 Author Posted April 21, 2014 Chicago it is!... probably. I know there's plenty of dudes in the IL chapter. What's cool at the end of the road around there? More off the beaten path the better too.
neohic Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 Bummer... well, sorta. Wife was offered a new job yesterday. Doesn't make sense to take off for a week after only working there for a month.
