2015 Epic Road Trip is Done!

4354 miles (7007km) travelled!
We were lucky enough for the first 3 days to have our son with us. He came as far as Chicago then flew back to start college.

There were seemingly endless roads:

A flat tire to get repaired:

First we headed up through Wyoming to get to South Dakota. Where we saw Mt Rushmore:

Sturgis and 'The Knuckle Saloon'

The Crazy Horse Memorial:

And we kind of saw Mt Rushmore on a gloomy afternoon:

We stayed the night in Deadwood:

Then we were lucky enough to get a fine sunny morning to revisit Rushmore:

We passed a lot of farmland along the way and saw; corn, soya beans, sunflowers, tobacco, vegetables and sorghum. And lots of it!

We then spent a night in Rochester Minnesota before driving on to Wisconson:

Wisconsin is where the antiquing began:

We also found the cycling capital of the US:

Then we spent a couple of nights in Chicago where Brett had his passport interview at the Aussie consular office. After Illinois we went through Indiana and Michigan before crossing the border into Canada and driving through Ontario to Toronto.
In Toronto when Matt wasn't busy with the conference he attended, we had dinner at the CN Tower 360 degree rotating restaurant:

And explored the PATH network

When we left Toronto we headed to Niagara Falls:

Then spent the remaining 4 days antiquing our way through NY state, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri and Kansas.

It was an awesome trip but boy are we glad to be home and our pooches were extremely happy to see us after 2 weeks of doggie camp.
