Overall, a pretty good driving day today.  We had a few sketchy hours of icy driving.

Border crossing was super quick and easy.

We crossed in Sault Ste Marie and took highway 28 & 2 thru the Upper Peninsula.  Things started to get a little icy when our elevation climbed around Marquette Michigan.

Wisconsin had quite a bit of snow – very white and extremely pretty.  Looking a lot like Christmas!

We actually drove thru a town called Christmas which was pretty cool!

We literally drove miles today without seeing a sole and many of the small towns were completely shut down for Winter and it actually got a little worrisome when gas stations were few and far between and many of them closed for the season.   It was kind of eerie how everything looked abandoned – I think we have been watching too many episodes of the walking dead…

The closer we got to Duluth Minnesota the more civilized things became – we passed many well decorated houses and I could catch a quick glimpse inside as we passed by of families gathered together and feel the warmth of Christmas Eve. 

Even though we are not having a traditional Christmas – we are happy and excited to be that much closer to seeing Steph, Lou, Payton & Ethan and we think of you all back home and wish you a good night!!
