Ohio, Kentucky, or West Virginia??
We're from the Boston area. This summer we will be in Detroit one weekend and in Gettysburg the next. Instead of coming all the way back to turn around and go back out, we'd like to take the long way from Detroit to Gettysburg, PA and need your suggestions.
Leaving Detroit early Tuesday morning. Arriving in Gettysburg around 3 pm on Saturday.
We'll be tenting (although we usually have a pop-up).
Love hiking, river or lake swimming, great scenic views, junior ranger programs for the kids (age 13 and 9--both boys), and generally inexpensive outdoor adventures. Also could do some canoeing, kayaking, or rafting.
We've never been to any of these states, so we're hoping to put together a plan for those four days. Because we're tenting, we only would like to break camp once midweek, so two days in each in two places is okay. More than three set-ups in four days is too much.
What are your favorites? Some places we love (which give you an idea of what we like) are White Mountains in NH, Cape Breton Island, Upper Peninsula in Michigan, "Up North" Michigan, and the Black Hills of South Dakota. We're in good shape, we don't mind driving, and we're always up for something new.
Thanks for all of your help!
