I am planning an overnight trip to northern Minnesota. It's been a while since I did an overnight so I'm looking forward to the challenge. I believe I am looking at around 689 miles (14+ hours) by the time I get home. Not all at one time though.
I'll be traveling north on Hwy 65 (Central) out of the cities. Around Banning State Park, I cross the 35 Freeway a few times, then I'm heading to Duluth via state Hwy 23. It might get too slow, but we'll see. This comes in to Duluth from the south, along the river and bay.
Aerostich in Duluth is a premier motorcycle rider's outfitter. I'm going to try on a jacket or two and see what the excitement is all about. I'm hoping to be here by noon.
From Duluth, I'll continue north along Lake Superior on Highway 61. Cutting in at Illgen City / Crystal Bay I'll head west on Highway 1 to Finland, MN and on Ely MN, still on Hwy 1. From Ely, there is a route that heads south a bit, but then back north to International Falls.
I'm plannig on spending the night in International Falls, then continue back south the next day. From International Falls to Big Falls, then cutting in on Hwy 6 and through Big Fork.
I've found a few interesting routes, some of it along the Mississippi on the Great River Road.
Once past Grand Rapids, I can pick up Hwy 65 again and straight down to home.
