Over next few weeks,I'm going to post some pictures of what we saw each day... it was an awesome experience for us and hopefully it will inspire you to put this trip on your bucket list.. first two pictures are crossing Mackinaw Strait which separates Lake michigan and Lake huron in Michigan upper peninsula...3rd pic is going through customs into Canada at Sault Ste Marie and 4th pic is St. Mary's river which connects Lake Superior and lake Huron...

This will be a great story. I'll get to relive my same trip we took in 2014. On that trip we entered Canada at Shelby MT going into Alberta. But I recognized the Mackinaw Bridge because we did that 2021. On that trip we stayed in MI and followed Lake Superior into WI.

cool trip. I'm in but doubt I could swing the gas for that one now. ![grin grin](/forums/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) In 2014 when we went, diesel was high but the US dollar was strong. We were getting an average of 7.5 to 8 mpg pulling a 39' 5th wheel. The average price we paid for diesel was 7 - 7.50 per gallon. The lowest was $6 ish and highest was $9 per gallon. It was our trip of a lifetime and I just paid it and went on. Beartrap, thanks for this thread. ![thumb thumb](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cup.gif)
