Wisconsin

Travelled north for an hour or so into Cheesehead-territory to have a look around to see what we could see.

Went into Milwaukee and found a confusing mess of off-ramps and roads towering over high rise buildings. Would have helped if I had brought a map along. Drove along the lake and almost got bogged in snow when someone tried to rear-end our car.

After that little experience, we headed south again on highway 43 South, which is also known as 94 East, which just confirms my earlier complaint.

Stopped at The Brat Stop, which is nice but dated family restaurant filled with normal ordinary country folk, not the city dwellers that you find in Chicago. Nice place with value food, most men wearing Trucker Hats, and TVs everywhere tuned into the only game that matters out here this time of year. We had a good feed and a nice break. I'll have to update the map for our weekend travellin'.
