Hey Outashape sounds like u r getting more adventurous, your story reminds me of a trip i took from Mackinaw City down the coast of Lake Michigan through Petoskey and Traverse City then to Interlochen, was hit by a huge storm after breaking camp, had to pull off the rode into a barn and wait the storm out. It was raining so hard that i could not see the rode and i am sure the truck drivers couldn't see me. Safety first always. Good luck. It’s the adventure that counts.
