Default WI, MI, Ontario, NY, PA, OH folks

I'm taking a last minute trip this weekend. Just decided on it today because I found out I won't have my daughter for 5 days straight. Here's the link to the tentative google map, but things may change slightly along the way.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour....665527&num=10

Are there any places along the way that I should definitely stop and see, visit, eat at, etc.? Oh, and please let me know of any good camping areas along the way!! I'll have a tent and plan to camp as much as possible.

I'm getting on the road Thursday morning. First stop will be New London, WI to visit a friend, next stop will be wherever I get tired. If any of you are on the way, or would like to join me for certain legs of the trip, let me know. I'll PM my phone number to any who want it, as I don't think I'll be taking the computer with me. If you read this after I've gotten on the road, PM Gas Man, Trip or Ebbs to get my cell phone number.

Ever been to Niagara Falls? If not, you'd better. I don't think I'll be able to make it that far west or I'd show you around personally

Yeah, that's on the list for sure. The trip can be done in four 8 hour days, and I plan on spending some time at Niagra with the spare time.

Looks like a nice trip, just too far out of the way for me
