A Good Long Day

Leaving Keyhole SP fairly early, we drove straight through Minnesota and most of Wisconsin to arrive in Milwaukee in time for a quick walk around the Milwaukee Art Museum and then join my mother for dinner. Still feeling fairly fresh somehow, we headed out around 9 PM with goal of reaching Indiana before stopping to sleep. This was our longest driving day by far, but still felt really good and had some meaningful stops. As with any new road trip companion, I think we just needed a few days to figure out a traveling pattern. Unfortunately this is also our final day of unstructured travel so we won't likely get another chance on this trip to get into a similar groove.

Sights along the way: hundreds of motorcyclists on their way to the Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary celebration in Milwaukee, scheduled to begin the next day; the iconic Quadracci Pavillion at the Milwaukee Art Museum designed by Santiago Calatrava shaped like a boat, or bird, or dinosaur – depending on your point of view.
