The short one

I get the call in mid October, "Let's do WI." Ok. The plan was a 4 to 5 dayer, like they usually are. We jumped on I80 for about an hour and got of on 78. Followed that to 30 going west. Reason being, there is a town called Fulton, my last name, and I wanted to go there. We followed 52 N (connects with 30) thru Galena and towards Dubuque. If you've never been, Galena is a pretty little tourist trap style city in the hills of Illinois, about 30 miles from Dubuque and about that far from Wisconsin. We got off 20 at 84 and followed it into WI. We hit Cuba City, which has small street signs with a profile bust of each of the presidents. That's the only reason to go there. I've known about them for years; my family used to go to Platteville during Bears camp. And yes went thru Platteville again. We jogged on 80 up to 18 and over to 61 N. And then stayed on that stretch for a while. We had a decision to make as it was starting to get a hair late, La Crosse or Tomah. "Tomah" the old man says. Ok. Jumped on 16 E at Sparta and into Tomah. Nice looking city from the drive-through. And the first hotel bar I've been in you can smoke in. Good thing; I brought cigars. Decent time at the bar, not the best but far from the worst. Problem was, the uncle's leg was bothering him to the point he could barely walk on it. Now mind you, he's 86, so he's allowed aches and pains. So, he was like, "If I'm not better in the morning, we'll have to head back so I can get it looked at." I was a little disappointed, but it was all right.
Funniest part of this trip was the next morning. Mind you, it was in the low 60's the day before. We get out to the car in the morning, it's like 34 degrees out. We were both laughing, there was even snow flying around. We left Tomah on 21 to Necedah before heading south towards home on 80. As dreary as it was out, the scenery was still pretty nice. I got us on 23 so we wouldn't go home exactly the way we came. Followed it to 78 and then 78 into Illinois to I80.
So there you have it, the shortest roadtrip I've ever done. I guess I didn't need to post it, but it happened and therefore I felt the need to include it.
