I really want to come... don't have any idea if it would be possible as I live in CA. I'm thinking, though, that I have the money for gas and I could put the camper shell on the old pick-up truck, load up my camping gear and my choclate lab for company and security as I traveled... Now, I could bring a covered dish cooked on the old camp stove... no problem. But my question is... would there be a place for a retired park ranger and her dog to stay? Might even be able to bring the "connection" to UP (my husband) if he could get some vacation time <<<grin>>>!!! Love this list!!!! BJ
