No major sightseeing today but we can report a few small events of note:

* We bid farewell to the Great Lakes, after traveling through Michigan and into Wisconsin.

* We shifted from Eastern to Central time – now perhaps we can get the kids to sleep a little earlier! 🙂

* Chester hit 50,000 miles! (only about 1500 are from our trip so far)

* We went hog wild (is that a legit WI phrase?) on some civilization perks, including a hotel room, a movie (we recommend Despicable Me 2), and laundry!

We’re in lumberjack country tonight – see the stained glass display at the hotel restaurant from tonight.

Day 8: Ishpeming MI to Hayward WI – 233 miles
