Great day driving from Middlebury to Schumburg (just the other side of Chicago). We went via the Indiana dunes (one of the smaller national parks) for a swim in Lake Michigan. The great lakes are truely amazing, you sit on the side and wonder where it ends as it stretches to the horizon. I am so used to seeing Wales, France or Lundy, from the sea it seems bizare to have waves on a lake. Tomorrow we pick up Tufty and Clive, we have a day for them to recover from the flight then we hit the town, before route 66 beckons.
