The Plunge!

So who wants to know where we're headed?!
I do, I do!
We leave next week to head north for the Electric Forest festival (www.http://www.electricforestfestival.com/), the first stop on our big trip! We're going to make two stops on the way there:
The first stop is at Kanawha State Park in West Virginia. We're going to camp out for the night and maybe take a quick hike. Since we're aiming to cover about 5-7 hours a day in the car, we will have a little time here and there for fun and sightseeing! Expect photos soon.
We'll leave Kanawha and head up to Ann Arbor, MI. We found a spot to couchsurf and there's a room waiting for us there. That will be a short stop; we're going to get up early on Thursday and make a quick trek, 3 hours, to Rothbury, MI, for the festival! Though I bet we'll make a little time to stop at that great outdoor provision store in downtown Ann Arbor! I do like that town - glad to be stopping through there again!
Electric Forest is going to be amazing! The first two festivals held there, Rothbury '08 and '09, were both incredible examples of performance art in many forms set to entertain a big, colorful crowd of festivarians! This year the festival has taken on a new name, a different tone, and a very specific emphasis: String Cheese Incident! Our favorite jam band - 3 nights - full sets: we're in heaven! Keller Williams and many other great musicians are also on the line up. We couldn't ask for anything more!
After the fest, we head out of Rothbury on Monday, July 4th. We're going to make another short hop into Michigan City, IN. There's a hotel there waiting for us, thanks to a friend in the business who got us a great 'friends and family' deal! We're right by the lake with a sweet (and inexpensive) suite. Two nights to rest and recuperate, get the laundry done and re-stock the road food, and we're off for Colorado!
It's going to take at least two stops before we make it all the way to Louisville, but we've plotted out good spots to camp and chill. We're so excited to see so much country!
Today we bought a (used) new digital camera; upgrading from 7.2 to 10.2 megapixels - better photos for you to enjoy!
Now we just have to finish packing up around here, say our last 'farewells!' to our local friends and family, and head out on the road!
