Is it feasible to do the Great Lakes Circle Tour (Lake Michigan) in 3.5 days (Car Trip)?
We are planning for a trip around Lake Michigan [from a Friday noon to Monday night]. We will be starting from Northbrook, IL. We are a group of 4 and will be taking a Corolla. All 4 of us can drive. When I checked in google maps for the closest route to the lake, it came up to 930 miles [19 hours]. This seems a bit aggressive to me to cover in 3.5 days.
I did a google search for travel logs but no luck. Some people have done it in weeks taking a lot of breaks.
Has anyone done this stretch in 3 or 4 days? Will it be too tiring?
