Getting There: SFO => MDW => Big Shag Lake

The usual post "getting there" from San Francisco to Big Shag Lake. First Uber to SFO...

... and some SFO killing time posts...

... including a traditional checkpoint on the departure day news of the day.

Another day, another Trump administration outrage. 

Then arriving in Chicago to start the trip reconnecting with relations and traditional Chicago culinary delicacies. Here enjoying a Gold Coast Char Dog with nephew Jonah at MDW, and an Italian Beef with cousin Howie at Irvings, also demonstrating the yin/yang of Wallach hairlines.

Finally prep, pack and drive to the U.P. with Dad ....

... stopping outside of Milwaukee to meet my newest relation, pick up my dog Bowser and ...

Sidney, Sydney and some other people.

... continue through the Wisconsin Heart of Darkness...

There is a bad smell here.

...to arrive at the lake and contemplate the days ahead.
