1.5-2 days is going to be super-duper rushed. There's a ton of great stuff to see between Indy and Minneapolis, and Ludington's actually a cool town. I'm just not sure you can do it in that amount of time. It's a 12-hour drive to Minneapolis on the dang interstate. Give yourself 2 more days if you can. Otherwise you'll just be watching the cool stuff go by at 55 mph.

I've never taken the Lake Michigan ferry, but I've stood there by the lighthouse and pier in Ludington while The Badger chugs out of the harbor. It's an amazing sight. Lots of people go down to see it, because it leaves around sunset. You're literally sailing into the sun (in summer, at least.) A guy was playing the bagpipes on the deck when I was there in July. Best of the Midwest. Unfortunately, it gets dark as soon as you leave. But the experience of watching Michigan disappear would be pretty incredible.

You won't have any trouble finding cool stuff on the Michigan shore. The problem is that the best part of it is north of Ludington. There really isn't diddly in northern Wisconsin unless you get off the road and go hiking in it. It's just trees. Door County is incredible, but you won't have time with just 2 days.

A REALLY awesome route is to drive to La Crosse, Wisconsin, and go up the River roads along the Upper Mississippi. It's like nothing you've ever seen. It's actually mountainous up there, and the river is dammed, so it looks like the Amazon. If I just had 2 days, I'd definitely go that way. Even that would be cutting it close. There's just a ton of amazing scenery up in SW Wisconsin and SE Minnesota. Just drive. You can't miss it. But definitely get off the interstate. There's **nothing** on the interstate.

Also: you'll love Minneapolis. Indianapolis is Squatsville by comparison.
