We drove and drove and drove on the 3rd. We did not tour Eagle River much, because we wanted to get on the move. Our lunch plans for Escanaba had to be a bit altered. As I had thought, Bonamer's Tavern was not a destination destined for Frommer's. One long bar full of customers at noon on a Wednesday, no food in sight. We got the only souvenir we could find and then continued on to the UP. The last town in Wisconsin was Spread Eagle, so we stopped for a break. The next town across the border was Norway! We have a friend visiting Norway right now, what a thrill that we could be there too. We finally had lunch at a Big Boy with beautiful views of Lake Michigan and lots of interesting photo op.s. The whole drive was full of lovely views of trees and water. We pulled over about an hour from St. Ignace to take a closer look and to put our toes in the water. My travel companion got a bit carried away by the waves and sand and I thought I might have to leave her behind. Instead, she brought some sand and water along for the ride.
Prius update, avert your eyes if you drive an SUV:
On the way to Eagle River, the mpg was 55.6. As we drove 70 mph north of the Twin Cities,we were only getting about 48, but the 55 mph roads made a difference. The next day, the mpg went up to 57. We filled the tank (at $4.26) and for the last 75 miles of the trip averaged 58.

wow $4.26? here it's $3.89- 3.95. Thats quite a bit more expensive. it doesn't seem like much, but it adds up fast. I bet this road trip is really expensive. It wouldn't be 4 Artemis Fowl. Artemis fowl is a multi- millionare. but u should know that.
