We've covered 1647 miles since we left Madison on Monday.
We only covered 140 miles today. We didn't get on the road until about 1:30 because we took a boat cruise up along the pictured rocks. The heat got pretty bad today. In Marquette it was about 93, and the heat index put it over 100. We called it quits at Houghton MI ,did laundry and just took it easy. We'll try for Copper Harbor tomorrow where it is predicted to be much cooler in that area.
