The weather for the trip up was beautiful and we made excellent time. To avoid driving through Chicago, something I did not want to do, we turned left at Indianapolis and made our way north through rural Illinois. This must be the buckle of the corn belt because that's all we saw for hours, corn fields and windmills.
Day two found us making our way out of Illinois and heading through rural Wisconsin toward Milwaukee. There was lots of construction on the roadways through Milwaukee and it was a tense couple of hours getting through there but finally we were heading north to Elkhart Lake.
Elkhart Lake is just the most beautiful little village you could ever want to see. It's a mix of old world charm and modern development, a quiet place to relax and renew.
