My wife and I are planning a 7K + RV trip this summer and would like to inquire about the Must see places to go in each state on our trip. Here is the Link: Road Trip Route Planner, Map and Trip Guides | Roadtrippers Please give us your recommendations! Thank you in advance and God Bless!
Wow! That looks like quite an adventure.
If you like wine, SW Michigan has some wonderful wineries! The Indiana Dunes National Park is incredible too.
Traveling through Chicago can be challenging, but if you want to go down town, keep rush hours in mind. Personally, we avoid I-94 and downtown Chicago whenever we can and use the 294 bypass instead.
Illinois Beach State Park is beautiful and right on the shores of Lake Michigan. Sites 330 and 331 are our favorites as they’re a short walk to the beach where the rockhounding is amazing, although its illegal to remove stones from the park. https://dnr.illinois.gov/parks/camp/park.adelinejaygeo-karisillinoisbeach.html
I would recommend traveling up the Great River Road through Wisconsin from Prairie Du Chien up and cross into Minnesota at Red Wing, MN. We in Wisconsin have the best part of the Great River Road in my opinion. If you’re not familiar, it is the road that starts at the head waters of the Mississippi River in Minnesota and runs all the way to down New Orleans - https://experiencemississippiriver.com.
To be continued . . .
Just into Wisconsin, Lake Geneva is quite a sight. We’re a small town on a beautiful lake with shores lined in amazing mansions built by names you may know such as Schwinn, Maytag, Wrigley, etc. There are cruises of the lake to see these amazing estates. https://www.cruiselakegeneva.com.
If you are a member of Harvest Hosts, Good Sam’s Overnight Stays, or RV Overnights, you can stay at Geneva Lake Distilling + Winery. https://www.genevalakedistilling.com. We are a small establishment with great spirits and wines and would love to have you as our guest!
Amazing & Safe Travels To You!!
Really appreciate your input and will take heed. Probably will stay away from the big cities though
