If you were driving a car cross country (northern states) what is there to see?, Porsche or other sporty makes Options

If I were in Indy I would go to the Indy 500 Museum and see the turbine car collection that is on display through Feb 2015, according to Vintage Car Magazine. The STP cars and the others were some of my favorites from the days when INDY cars were actually interesting.

Your northern route looks great. I hope to do the same in the future, so I am reading the recommendations with interest. Good luck and enjoy it.

And the Auburn Cord Duesenburg Museum is right off of I69, 2.5 hours before you get to Indy.

that should be a fun drive! especially considering what you will be driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

That stretch across ND is pretty boring but northern MN, Wisc, and MI are beautiful in the fall. Definitely stop in Duluth, see rick and drive the North shore of the lake there. Also Macinak Island is a good idea too. I think you are a bit early for the leaf color change but wont be too cold either. If i had more leave time i would volunteer to "copilot" with you !.

Have a safe trip, see you at Octeenerfest, you can fill us all in on the trip then!

I think he meant the Grand Coulee Dam in eastern wa.

Bonneville dam is closer to pdx between wa. and or.

it pretty impressive.

I'd take the western shore of Mich lower pun. to see harbor springs, petrosky, Sleeping Bear sand dunes. they're all in the northern part

2nd on Beartooth Pass....spectacular.

x3 for Beartooth Pass.

Going to the Sun Road thru Glacier NP is a must see....be sure to get PIE at the Park Cafe in St. Mary, MT on the other side. Then, head southeast towards Red Lodge, MT, go over Beartooth Pass and down into Cody, WY. Cross over the Bighorn Mountains and into Sheridan, WY then on to the Black Hills and Sturgis. You can head notheast after that to get you to your stop in MI. You will have gotten some excellent driving and scenery instead of a long, monotonous drive across eastern Montana and North Dakota.

Yes, you must see Beartooth pass and Going to the sun!! Pictures don't do these places justice.

What? You don't like my pictures? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) How about this one from an off-road campsite on the way to Cody.



Seriously, you will remember this stretch of road forever. Hwy 212 is the Beartooth, on the other side, WY296 is the Chief Joseph Hwy...an absolute blast in a 914. If you're not driving a 914 you'll constantly be saying, "I wish I had my 914."

Remember, RRC, I'll be gone from Sept 8, to the 16th. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

A week is not a long time for that trip. I just did 4800 miles in like 5 days and had no time to do anything but drive.

You'll be gone during my trip through...otherwise I would take you up on that!

I'm allowing 8 or 9 days...I'm trying to visit the absolute "must see's" I agree that even with 9 days I'm still looking at averaging 350-400 miles/day

SOT, but I won't have my car for RRC- I'll be on the bike with a week to burn after we're done. I'm heading north, hopefully up to Glacier as I've never been and doing Beartooth also before heading to the BoZone to see friends and Jellystone on my way home. The East is beautiful and green- the west takes your breath away... in spots. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The tunnel of tree's along M-119 from Cross Village then on to Harbor Springs, Petoskey, Bay View, Charlevoix & on to Traverse City Sleeping Bear Dunes along US-131. That's the route in reverse from Traverse City PCA's Parade in 2013.
The problem it will slow you down with this route.
