We used to just go, and plan on finding a place to stop when we're ready to stop. This was many years ago now. We were headed up to Lake Superior, through MI. Thought we would stop for the night somewhere around Saginaw or Bay City. It was around 9pm and we started calling ... Nothing. Totally nothing. Nothing anywhere! There was a classic car show or somesuch going on in Bay City, and everything was booked, and something else further along ... We didn't find anything until Gaylord (more than 200 miles up the road). Including a short nap in a parking lot in Roscommon, 4 hours had gone by and we finally got a place at 1am. We had a pop-up at the time, so were looking for a hotel/motel (didn't care at all whether it was fancy/nice or not - anything with a room was good for me) and wallydocking wasn't really an option.

We've made sure we have reservations ever since.
