Last month, and for the 9th summer, Fraser and I set out on our father-son adventure!
The 2026 “Song of the Open Road” took us through 9 states (IN, IL, WI, MN, SD, MT, WY, NE, IA) for 3,855.8 miles of unsupervised shenanigans!

You play until the final horn. Period.
Varsity @WNWarriorHoops down 62-51 with 1:35 left against Lutheran East during Summer League.
One North player races down the court & makes a play on a missed dunk.
Fraser Hartnell.
You play until the final horn.

Yesterday, Fraser missed his 86,785th shot.
On the next attempt, he swished in his 250,000th make.
It’s been 1 basket at a time since his 1st shot went in on Nov. 8, 2021.
CONGRATS on becoming the 10th person to hit that milestone at the Lewis Center @justhoopscbus!

Congratulations Fraser on not burning your driving examiner with a cup of coffee (Les Anderson would be very proud - IYKYK) and for nailing the maneuverability test in the truck!
Your Mother and I are very proud of you - and once she stops weeping, we’ll discuss insurance…

“Give me 5 months.”
Not for pretty muscle.
Not for Instagram muscle.
Do it for good ol’ fashioned “mean” muscle.
The kind that stays with you.
The kind that hurts to build (hence the name “mean”)… the kind that requires discipline to achieve.
Congratulations, son!

TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND MAKES.
It’s been one basket at a time since his first shot rattled around the rim and finally dropped in on November 8, 2021.
Take a bow, Mr. Chitwood.

Still, there was no fanfare.
No shirts.
No pictures on the wall.
Not until 250K. The next major milestone.
Keep grinding. Keep shooting. Keep improving.

DAY 4: We met my wife in Chicago (who had flown in earlier for a conference).
Fraser loves “origin stories”, so he opted for Pizzeria Uno, where the deep-dish pizza was invented in 1943! He’s now been to the birthplace of wings & hot chicken!

DAY 3: We were up extra early & drove nearly 3 hours from Marquette to Fort Wilkins in Copper Harbor. Check the map! Waaaay up there!
Built in 1844 to keep peace in copper country, those troops were called to fight in the Mexican-American War.
#HartnellHistory#HartnellSummer
DAY 3: After the copper mine, we made our way out of the UP & began our journey around the other side of Lake Michigan.
We settled in Green Bay. Phenomeonal food & a chance to show Fraser how Lambeau Field is literally sitting in a neighborhood.
