Glad that you are ok with all of the driving. Yeah, it has been chilly here in Wisconsin. However, the good news is, starting Sunday, it will be back in the 80's and all of next week also. Sounds as if you are enjoying your trips.
I agree, way to many vehicle accidents!
BTW, I have been in the Ho Chunk Casinos in Wisconsin Dells and Madison. Too noisy for me. Been by Yogi Bear Park on many occasions.
The Univ. of Minn. and Univ. of Wisconsin play for the Paul Bunyan axe trophy each year.
Cheers my friend and take care!
