Looking good.

Doing more route planning and "no highways" sounds awesome on paper but it really adds a lot of mileage and time on this cruise.

I might need to add some I90 highway pulls with your friends to the start and ending...

What's the game plan if rain enters the picture?

 

[blue-sun]

OH NO RAIN

Rain - Arteon

Do we know what time this will be? My parents may be coming into town before they go south for the winter and I have another event at 2. I am just trying to juggle my time. Lol

Pretty sure all day. Morning until night

Yes, rough plan (announced earlier) was approximately 300 miles, with best intent to avoid the highway/tollway except in the possible event to blast to the driving area to spend more time on the backroads.

PANDA, about right?

You won't make the event at 2PM unless you bounce around lunch I would say...

 

[PANDA]

Anyone have any dinner recommendations for a group in the Dells area?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Jose's and/or Moosejaw are basically weekly visits for Megan and I.

 

[PANDA]

This jaw moose place has no cheese curds.

They used to, I'm pretty positive they do

The tentative route is posted in post 2. It's going to be a hell of a cruise. ALOT of driving but should be enjoyable to all. I think our actual drive time will be less. If some people wanted an overnight in the Dells that wouldn't be a bad idea. I am just not sure I will be doing that.

E85 will be minimal. I plotted some Kwik trips on the map as possible gas stops at around 200-250 miles. Pretty much all Kwik trips had E85 but now it seems harder to find. The websites do not indicate these stops have it. So I am not sure if the actual stations will. (I looked at Casey also in the area)

Again... A lot of driving. But if you can do this in a day you are probably ready for a possible spring TCG Tour to "The Dragon".

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

depending on finishing time, maybe a jaunt over to Lake Geneva for some Kilwins ice cream.

 

[blue-sun]

long day indeed! I'm an hour 15 minutes from the starting/ending point, so I'll have an extra 2.5 hours and 120 miles of driving! Should be fun though, especially with me being the "slowest" car in the bunch I suspect.

 

[PANDA]

Driving is part of the game. Living in the Chicago area we need to drive to the good roads and scenery. Its kinda what the Tour is about. This is MORE than we typically drive in a day tho.

I'm excited for this tour! I've day 4-5 hour day drive/cruise events in the past, nothing like this. I have always wanted to go to the Dragon, this may be the push I need to actually do it one day!

 

[PANDA]

If I get enough pushback I can make it shorter.

Solid route sir!

We're going to right past House on the Rock (less than a mile from the overlook on WI-23). Haven't been there in a few years. If the g/f comes with hopefully she won't notice
