:: Ride up to Northern::

This past weekend, Brogan and I hitched a ride up to Marquette with friends of ours, Megan and Erik. It started out just great, Brogan was up for a little while, and then took his normal afternoon nap. He even stayed asleep for his second time over the bridge... which by the way for everyone who doesn't know as we didn't... they raised the toll to 3 bucks... BOOO

We had BEAUTIFUL traveling weather! and the leaves were beginning to change! It was such a pretty ride!

But what is every good traveling story without at least ONE problem? As we were driving on US 2 along the bottom of the UP, we can across some construction. So where there is construction there are ALWAYS detours. Now usually you can find a way around the detour, but we were in the UP in the middle of no where so we had to follow the rest of the tourists and take the same detour and when we did, we saw that the cars were at a DEAD STOP. Megan and I decided to do some investigating and grabbed our coffees, and sweatshirts and started walking up to see what was going on. After about a half a mile we were within sight of what was going on... an RV caught on fire and they couldn't let anyone go through.... We walked back to the car and we sat there for 55 minutes until we were able to get going again... Below are some pictures of Brogan messing around while we had some time to spare... and what was LEFT of the charred RV

By the time we got going again, it was getting dark out. We did get to see this AMAZING sunset though as we were driving the Seney Strech-> for those of you that don't know what the seney strech is... its about 30 miles of absolutly STRAIGHT no curves no turns boring highway... so this made it quite enjoyable

..... and we reached Marquette at about 8:30 just in time for Brogan to go crazy for a little while and then just CRASH.. he slept so good! I was so Proud of him!
