duluth to santa fe

our adventure starts in duluth minnesota, home of Cirrus Design

here's our ride: a new Cirrus SR-22, fresh off the assembly line

we took off in a thick minnesota haze, but the weather cleared up as we crossed the upper peninsula of michigan. we took two days off in ann arbor and lower michigan before continuing west.
