It’s a long trip from Minneapolis to Detroit via the Upper Peninsula, but we made it. I took it easy at Target Field with the food and just had a burger and fries. There were a lot of good foods to eat but we’ve been on the go so hard, I just needed to take it easy. Right after the game back in the car and Steven got behind the wheel heading to Detroit. The first thing we did is made sure the Caravan was full of gas as we are heading into an area in the middle of the night without a lot of services. We wanted to get at least to Rhinelander, WI before filling up, or further if possible. We then changed drivers and Pat did some driving taking us to Mackinaw City, MI where there is a toll bridge that crosses from the Upper Peninsula to the lower portion of Michigan (see picture above). There was a very long stretch after sunrise where we were driving right along the north end of Lake Michigan. That was pretty cool considering we will be seeing the south end of Lake Michigan a couple of times during this trip. After crossing the bridge it put us on I-75 that will take us right down to Detroit. When we got there we gassed up, found breakfast and changed to Shawn for his second drive of the trip. He drove us down to Saginaw, Michigan, before I took over for the balance of the trip into Detroit. We went into Detroit where I-75 turns into I-375 and got off the freeway in downtown and drove to our hotel for the night, the Hilton Garden Inn
about 2 blocks from Comerica Park. It’s about 3 hours or so before the game, so on the way to the stadium I think we’ll grab a bite then go in and watch the Tigers and the Rockies. More to follow…
