Spectacular route. The value of a trip and alone time with adult children is priceless. Your son resembles you (excluding coiffures). Happy trails!

He has great hair. College is the time to express yourself and begin to figure out your purpose and direction. Give his hair a little grace on his journey : ).

I have the fondest memories of doing the same with my two kids. You've got a great itinerary! I am looking forward to your photos from Mackinac Island. I grew up in Michigan. Beautiful state--undergoing an astounding renaissance--3 courageous Democratic women--Governor, Attorney General and Secretary of State.

Does your son realize you’re trying to SAVE our DEMOCRACY? Does he know you’re a HERO?

What a wonderful road trip! Lucky son, lucky father. After its completion you have to return to the urgent business of removing the blight of Donald Trump from our lives, something you do extremely well.

Decades ago I crossed the country in a camper and it was one of my most memorable experiences. What made it so good was driving to lakes and rivers every night. I read the guide book. Sometimes it would be dark pulling in and then I woke up each morning in paradise. This country is soooo beautiful off the main roads.

The hope of the world, at this dangerous time, is that it gets soooooo awful that we flip to the good. It's either that or evil wins out.. Doing everything anyone can to weight things on the side of the good is what we all should be paying attention to.
