One night in Great Falls, MT–Big Trip #4
We visited Great Falls on Labor Day, 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Edited because apparently I’ve offended people: We were in town for less than a day, so obviously we don’t know the town at all or what it’s like to live there. This is a travel blog, and all I do is…

One night in Medora, ND (visit #2)–Big Trip #4
We visited Medora in early September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We first visited in 2020 during Big Trip #3. When we visited Medora and Theodore Roosevelt National Park for the first time, in 2020, I didn’t bother writing a separate post about Medora, the tiny town just outside the national park. There’s…

Two nights in Fargo, ND (visit #2)–Big Trip #4
We were in Fargo in early September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our first trip to Fargo in 2020 here. The drive to Fargo from Grand Rapids was a pretty one, through forests and past lakes on smaller roads. We arrived in Fargo at one of our favorite campgrounds with a simple…

One night in Grand Rapids, MN–Big Trip #4
We were in Grand Rapids in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Don’t confuse Grand Rapids, MN with Grand Rapids, MI, which we visited in 2016 while on Big Trip #1! Where to break up the drive from Duluth to Fargo? We chose Grand Rapids, based on the presence of breweries (for J)…

Two nights in Duluth, MN–Big Trip #4
We were in Duluth in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 We read about Duluth somewhere on a “best of” list–who knows where or when, but we throw things we read onto a master map, and when planning trips we consult the master map. So Duluth became part of Big Trip #4, connecting…

Two nights in Madison, WI–Big Trip #4
We were in Madison in August 2022 as part of Big Trip #4 When planning Big Trip #4, we only gave ourselves one night in Madison, and pretty quickly regretted that decision. And then–good news!–we wanted to leave Michigan City a day early, so we ended up with two nights in Madison. It’s a fun…

Indiana Dunes National Park
We visited IDNP in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 Indiana Dunes National Park, like Cuyahoga Valley National Park, is an urban park. It’s one of the newest national parks in the US, protecting an important shoreline ecosystem on Lake Michigan, and providing accessible nature experiences to people who live in near cities.…

One night in Michigan City, IN–Big Trip #4
We were in Michigan City in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 From Streetsboro, or rather Cuyahoga Valley National Park, we drove north to our next national park destination. We stayed in Michigan City for the sole purpose of visiting Indiana Dunes National Park, one of the newest national parks in the US.…

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
We visited Cuyahoga Valley National Park in August 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite… Cuyahoga Valley National Park? Don’t go to Cuyahoga expecting dramatic vistas and crazy wildlife. It’s an urban park, squeezed between towns and along highways, with no escape from the constant drone of traffic. But the woods…

Two nights in Streetsboro, OH–Big Trip #4
We were in Streetsboro in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. After our stopover in Fayetteville, we spent a couple days in Streetsboro to explore Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Our campground is on the very eastern edge of Streetsboro, and downtown Streetsboro doesn’t seem like anything special, no offense. The town of Hudson,…
