I’ve started this thread here each of the last few years. Always nice to see just how far (or not) people travel to attend. I live in a small harbor town on Lake Michigan in Port Washington, WI and will be making the 1 hour, 45 minute car ride down. You?

Me and 3 buddies will be making the 8 hour trip north from Charleston, WV.

I know. A joke right! Although if I leave early enough in the morning, might I be okay? Lol

The construction through Milwaukee/Racine and then in to IL is stupid. If you leave too early you might get some over night lane closures lol

Coming from Milwaukee as well. Wisconsin is always represented at the National in Chicago. I-94 through Racine/Kenosha is BRUTAL. I'm just hoping to make it there alive!

I'm right by the lake so I usually take 31 through Racine & Kenosha and get back on 94 after the construction zone near the border to save a little time and aggravation.

Haven't really made many card-related purchases over the last few years but I plan to make the drive Thursday and/or Friday.

Soxrule111 · 07-10-2019, 12:39 PM

About 50 Mins, but I dont think Im going to go.

Wisconsin Rapids, WI. Around 3.5 hours for me. I usually take 90 (Madison/Rockford) on the way down, so your Kenosha comment renews those plans again this year.
