Drive Drive Drive!

After leaving WI, we had the pleasure of driving ourselves to the east coast. We love driving.

After the trip around Chicago, we had a short stay in Indiana before entering Michigan. We stopped in Kalamazoo at Bell's for a beer and snacks. We really enjoyed their sour mash wheat beer, and we liked the "Wild One" sour brown but thought it was too acetic to drink a lot of. Back on the road, we ran into some insane construction traffic where we sat in one spot for about an hour, just 2 miles from our exit. Good times. Eventually we got to our campground at Sugarloaf Lake in Waterloo Recreation Area, though it was after dark it was at least dry. We got a site 50 yards from any other tent or RV; unfortunately the folks nearby had a habit of walking along the road, stopping at our tent, and holding loud (sometimes drunken) conversations well into the night. Thumbs down for Michigan!
We left Michigan via I-94 just north of Detroit and entered Canada (again!). We pretty much drove straight across and arrived in Niagara Falls. We stopped on the Canadian side and wandered around for a bit to take a break from the car. After a wonderfully brief border crossing, we hit New York. We hit the Finger Lakes and decided to get a pizza now that we were in NY where they know how to make real pizza. Boy we hit a dud. Turns out what we thought was a little corner pizza shop is a local chain, Mark's. Worst pizza ever. :( Got a campsite at the top of Cayuga Lake at the local state park.

  1. Bell's - sweet! I just graduated from grad school at the University of Michigan, and so I drank a lot of Bell's the last two years.. :)
    I once even saw a fight break out when one dude claimed that Bell's Two-Hearted Ale tasted "watery"

  2. Ah, we like Two-Hearted. Didn't get one at the brewery since we figured we should try the local-only stuff. Kalamazoo was kind of a cute town too.
