My wife and I are planning a leisurely 5 day trek around Lake Huron in our Longbridge Healey in a couple of weeks unless the weather suddenly turns unruly. Will start from the Ann Arbor area and head to the east coast of Michigan above Saginaw, holding to US 23 right by the lake. We plan to cross into the UP at Mackinac, take the scenic route to Sault St Marie, then the Trans Canada East to Manitoulin Island, ferry over to Tobermorey, down the Bruce Penninsula and cross back into the US at Sarnia. We'll stay at B&B's on the way, doing 250-300 miles per day maximum.
I have a pretty good stash of spares, and the car has been a great runner for the nearly 2 years that I've had it.. I've put a couple thousand miles on each year with no issues.
We still have to do hood drills in case of rain..
If anyone has suggestions in terms of what to see or do, or lives along the way in case I run into a mechanical problem, I'd appreciate hearing from you in this thread.
I guess one question has to do with car ferrys and ground clearance on their ramps.. I've seen Healeys in the Pacific NW on ferrys, so it may not be an issue, has anyone had experience with this?
Cheers!
