Hi Dean I do the Michigan to NewHampshire/Maine run a lot. Inlaws in detroit. Its about a 12 Hour drive give or take. Add an hour to get up to the lake. Its a marathon run for sure but I think well worth it. I spent all day Saturday and found it great Lots of great boats and people. The demos and displays were very informative. If you do come out I think going through Canada is quicker. Hope to see you there!
