Re: Great Circle Tour?
Dang, I thought I was the shut in here.<br />Read on friends.<br />_______________________________________________<br />The Great Lakes Circle Tour is a designated, scenic road system connecting all of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. The Circle Tour, established by the Great Lakes Commission in cooperation with its eight member states and the province of Ontario, promotes travel and tourism along the shores of "North America's Fresh Coast." Among thousands of places of interest, the Great Lakes Circle Tour showcases the world's largest body of fresh water, its most famous waterfall and other unique natural features ranging from magnificent dune-lands to majestic cliffs. Whether you are camping at one of the many national, state or provincial parks or enjoying the symphony in an historic, urban district, the Circle Tour can accommodate a spectrum of experiences. <br /> <br />The Circle Tour is over 6,500 miles or 10,500 kilometers long. It encompasses individual lake Circle Tours including New York State's Seaway Trail system. The road route, marked by distinctive green and white signs, is usually the closest major road or highway to the water. Official spur routes such as the Lake Michigan carferry are identified by brown and white signs.
But if you are in fact talking the Great Lakes Circle, definately a great adventure.<br /><br />Have done most of it, but not all at one shot. Been done in stages.<br />If your planning on it, keep several weeks free or do it in steps over a few years. There is so much to see and do if you take the time. It is a shame to miss out just to make the tour.
