Default National starts 3 weeks from today, where are you coming from?

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?

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

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.
