GR is probably a halfway point for both of you, check it out!wap wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 12:26 pmWe have friends in Trenton. We've met up with them in Cleveland (an underrated city, IMO) before. Sounds like we need to plan a up with them in GR post covid.Detroit wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 12:21 pm
Oh man, GR is a close drive for you and certainly worth the trip! Downtown is really nice with a lot of cool stuff going on. The meijer gardens outside of the city is a massive sculpture garden that's fun to get lost in for an afternoon. It's a 5/7 region.
I haven't been to WI much at all, but just yesterday we were talking about a trip. Either through the UP or take the ferry from Ludington to Manitowoc.
Oh man, either of those trips sound 5/7, especially the ferry. I believe it's the last coal-fired ferry still running on the Great Lakes so you should hop a ride before it goes away. Manitowoc is a town with some excellent B&B's and an interesting maritime museum (they built submarines there during WWII) if that's your thing. It's also a relatively short drive down the coast to Kohler, the bathroom fittings and faucets company, who have a spa in town. We've talked about spending a weekend there but haven't gotten around to it.
I didn't realize there was so much in manitowoc and the surrounding area. I love maritime stuff, would be great to check that out. Building subs there in WWII is
