Hi Ho ! A Podder close by. We are about 20 east of Duluth in NW Wis. 2 years into this wonderful adventure. We were up at Itasca State Park on Memorial Day week. Enjoy your trip to Ely.

Camping on the fox river in seney city.headed south in mi. And staying at grayling military cg with free WiFi.will head to Ohio in am for visit with family and friends.

I'm assuming you came around to the South Shore of Lake Superior? If so you missed us by a mile, literally. We're a mile off the main drag from MN to MI. I've spotted a half dozen plus Pods passing through in the last couple weeks. Going up and down Hwy 2 we see quite a lot of cross country traffic. We were going to wander over to the UP this fall but a wedding obligation is putting a damper on that....... Good to hear you had a good time.

Made it to Ohio and visited family & friends. Had a good time.headed home to Fla. Stopped in Asheville, NC on way home. On the way home, in south Carolina, had a blowout on drivers side of pod. Not sure why , but it took the fender off as well. Air pressure was checked but did hit a small piece of tire debris (unable to avoid it ) about 15 minutes before. It was a very small piece and didn't think that much about it. Changed tire without getting mashed by trucks or other traffic. Otherwise, trip was great. Now looking for replacement fender .
