Lake Michigan Seems the Yanks aren't too concerned about the riff-raff that enter their country from the north as okes barely glanced at us as he waved us through immigration back into the home of the brave and the land of the free. High fives all round! Hard to believe that we had been in Canada that morning as after our longest drive yet, nearly 12 hours in the car, we were so damn happy to finally arrive on the western shore of the majestic Lake Michigan....

Long Island (New York State) Two days of 8 million people in a crazy city and we were more than ready to escape to the beach! In desperate need of Vitamin D, and stocked up with Aussie Gold SPF 30, we hotfooted onto Long island. Horrendous roads complete with Bourke's Luck sized potholes, ended up buckling our tyre. Not impressed, as the $12 toll fee for every car should surely cover the road maintenance? Thinking of suing the state for damages. $160 bu...
