My Wisconsin Experience...

[Rost]

I had the chance to visit both LaCross and Eau Claire ealier this week! I must say that I witnessed some terrain that I am not used to! Coming from SD, I am used to straight roads (that go North-South and east to west) . Your hill country and all of the trees were really neat to see. I'd bet you have plenty of deer hanging around!

Unfortunately though, I ended up lost a few times. Pouring Rain+curvy roads+ road construction (Eau Claire) = Lost Rost!! Sorry for all of the accidents I came close to causing in Eau Claire (I got the bird a few times) . I did stumble onto your Scheels Store, so that was nice.

I also learned that your HW Patrol Officers don't take speeding very lightly . 70 in a 55 zone = $160!!! And he informed me that I had just lost 4 points on my driving record (what ever that means).

Did you visit Grandad's Bluff in LaCrosse? Quite the view from there. Also, did you take Hwy 93 between the two? If so, you drove right by my happy hunting grounds! There's always road cornstruction in Eau Claire...I've live here all my life and still get cornfused in it

I missed HWY 93 somewhere along the line and ended up taking 35 through Alma, then hit 37 into EC. I meant to take it, but it didn't work out that way.

The main confusion for me was the mess you got going on around the 53, 93 and 94 junctions! Yikes! I also COULD NOT find State Street! On the map, it looked like I could just turn off 12th and be there....however, after 3 tries, I finally realized I have to go south 2 blocks, just so I could get north. Like I said though, it was raining hard, so maybe it would have been easier if I had a clearer view.

Hwy 37...can see why Buffalo Co puts out some brutes, eh?
