56-Day Midwest Road Trip: Minnesota’s Magic & Misadventures! 🚗💨

🌊 Days 6-8: Minnesota’s Wild Beauty From Wisconsin to Minnesota, we chased Superior Lake’s grandeur—no "lake fatigue" here! Then north to Voyageurs NP (America’s "Thousand Islands"), and finally down to the Twin Cities. Highs and lows ahead... 📍 Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ Split Rock Lighthouse State Park 🏞️ Hike + historic lighthouse with epic lake views. Photogs, bring your gear! 2️⃣ Palisade Head 🌅 Cliff-top vistas over Lake Superior—misty layers = pure magic. Stayed 2 hours, still didn’t want to leave! 3️⃣ Voyageurs National Park 🛶 Forests + lakes galore… but mosquitoes from hell! 🦟 (Worst bites of the trip—fled mid-hike!) Aurora hopes? *"Best lower-48 spot"—but still failed.* Tip: Alaska’s more reliable. 4️⃣ Spoonbridge and Cherry 🥄🍒 Quick Minneapolis landmark pic—not worth a detour. 😅 The Reality Check Twin Cities vibe: "Cyberpunk decay"—old factories + Mississippi dams = oddly atmospheric. Wildlife woes: Mosquitoes out for blood, auroras out of reach. #MinnesotaRoadTrip #LakeSuperior #VoyageursNP #EpicFails #TravelTruths
