Friday morning I said goodbye and left Minneapolis, headed towards Indiana. Porter, Indiana, a place I hadn’t heard about until that morning. But it was a cheap inn on Lake Michigan.
I drove through Wisconsin and Illinois. Lots of tolls in Illinois and my EZPass stopped working for some weird reason. This week has had some long drives, which has tested my patience but I’ve finished another audiobook. 
I stayed at this cute somewhat bizarre inn near the Indiana State Sand Dunes Park. I was tired of driving and they had a speakeasy bar next door that mixed reviews about their food online. So I walked next door and was slightly disappointed. 
So I found another bar and got a great burger and chatted with some locals. Then back to my quirky hotel that had a bottle opener next to the toilet paper. Although, I’ve been told this is common in the south. However, Indiana isn’t south. 
Saturday morning I packed up and headed to the park before Cleveland. It was raining a smidge. I wanted to see Lake Michigan so I paid to head into the state park despite the rain. But it was cold and wet so I didn’t walk around too long. 
It looks just like the Atlantic. It was this gray, wet day but there were a handful of people there walking the beach. 
The rain turned to hale and then snow as I was leaving. Thankfully I was leaving because I’m done with snow. Off to Cleveland!
