There are also lots of good touristy things to do up in that area. For example, House on the Rock, Taliesmin (Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin home), Cave of the Mounds, Little Norway, etc... New Glaurus is a former Swiss settlement and is a neat little town with Chalet style architecture.
If we want to do a drive, I'd be happy to set one up including laying down some ground rules so that we can do it safely.
On a total unrelated topic, my father drove the Tail of the Dragon last weekend in his 69 Jaguar E type.

Did I miss anyone?
Ok so I finally got off my butt and finished sending out the pics to everyone else today. If you did not recieve your pics via email, please let me know, but I'm pretty sure I got everyone this time. And sooner or later I'm gonna send out group shots of all of us together back in september. I just need to make the contact list so everyone will get the same message and pics.
Alrighty, thats all I have. Talk to you peeps later. ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!

the speed limit thing is a bit harsh, I'd stick with 10 mph above posted speeds. Also no passing without a signal.

Well, in light of Al's testimony for Major Bong. I believe RSD should make a pilgrimage to the Bong Rec Center to make amends for insinuating or implicating a vaulted war hero in such acts.
