Good news, Stan, apparently Michigan is much shorter than it once was so you will save time.

Kept promise to Tammy for our 25th wedding anniversary to do car trip in the "Tammy" car (Miata).
Home to Duluth...to Bayfield WI.....to Marquette MI .... to St Ignaces MI ......to Ludington MI ....taking the ferry (SS Badger) from Ludington to Manitowoc WI .... swinging up through Door County WI ......then back home ........Phew ..... 7 days.
Love Door County.

I'm about an hour and half/two hours south of there. If you end up near Green Bay, let me know and we can grab a beer. And yes, your Mrs. can come along too.

You're gonna be hating that car by the time that trip is over! They're small, don't ride particularly well and they get crappy gas mileage. I'm glad I came to my senses before I drove that MX-5 up to the boy in Seattle and put it on a trailer instead.

Stan, I will attest to Russ' assessment. Sherri is currently on her 3rd Miata and it is guaranteed hospital traction after 200 miles.

Any pain that Stan will feel will certainly be offset by the wind blowing through his fabulous mane....
