South Dakota (Summer 2021)

This was two days, Sica Hollow to Left Tailrace Campground just below Big Bend Dam, and then there to Cottonwood Springs Lake Campground outside of Hot Springs. Corner to corner.

Minneapolis to Sica Hollow State Park (Summer 2021)

Sica Hollow State Park is really cool and I wish we'd had more time to explore. Would recommend.

Black River Harbor MI to Minneapolis (Summer 2021)

 


Minneapolis is the 4th most populous metropolitan area (after LA, Phoenix, and Riverside/San Berdoo) Ludwig has ever been driven in, to our knowledge.
Historical aside: He was shipped from the factory in Hannover to San Francisco (Ludwig has almost certainly been through the Panama Canal!) but it's not known if he was sold in that vicinity, so we can't say with certainty that he's been driven in the San Francisco metro area. He might've gotten put on a train or truck at the port and sent along to Reno or Sacramento or Bishop, for all we know.

Big Bay State Park to the UP (Summer 2021)


Leaving Madeline Island on the ferry. If I had known, I would have allowed for two days at Big Bay State Park on Madeline Island and only one day at the next place, but hindsight is 20/20 and all.


Some of the many cataracts on the Black River






The gas station in Bessemer where we stopped before driving into Black River Harbor Campground is now the furthest East we've ever had Ludwig.
