First Minnesota, then Montana, and now Michigan! I know they all start with "M" (actually, there are 8 US states that start with "M"), but they are not all next to each other. Even if I started at the Michigan border, in New Buffalo, where I could almost put my toe over the Indiana border, it would be over 450 miles (724 km) to drive to Minneapolis, Minnesota, from here. Don't forget, the US is a *big* place!
