Agree with the above posts. More throughs after my earlier post:
Start in your back yard! There is great riding near Wisconsin. Get the family dynamics of riding worked out first. It has to be a passion to everyone to work for a long trip.
* Ride around Lake Superior; beautiful trip. Visit Silver Islet east of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Maybe head north to Armstrong; a bush/railroad town. Wawa, the goose.. Bush plane museum at the Soo.
* More remote blacktop adventure: There's Radisson PQ and the hydro dams. You can reach the shore of James Bay at Chisibi, PQ. There's also the North Road; a remote gravel road. The whole trip is rather remote; blueberries in August; moose, Cree culture.
* Then the AlCan to Alaska, or to Tutoyaktuk NWT, or to Deadhorse. Tuk is a native village right on the Arctic Ocean. Eat muktuk and arctic whitefish. Experience the arctic culture. Even more gravel riding.
Seed and nurture the passion first with these trips. Then go for the southern continent where the culture and language are different. The traffic and driving habits are different too! Expand your frontier and start with trips to Mexico. Then farther south!
