Upper Peninsula Upventure: US Route 41

I've been from coast to coast a hundred times or more
I ain't found one single place where I ain't been before
White line fever
Merle Haggard, "White Line Fever."

But the "coast to coast" that figures into my post is the coast of Lake Superior to the Atlantic coast.

US Route 41 begins at Copper Harbor, Michigan, on the Keweenaw Peninsula, and it ends in Miami, Florida. In Copper Harbor, there's a sign that reads, "Miami 1990 Miles."

Once it leaves Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Route 41 parallels many interstate highways, including I-43, I-94, and I-75. Closer to (my) home, US 41 is also Skokie Highway and Chicago's Lake Shore Drive.

On the Keweenaw Peininsula, from Copper Harbor to Hancock, Route 41 is the nationally designated Copper Country Trail Scenic Byway.

Unlike Miami, traffic congestion is not a problem on US 41 in Michigan.
