1 - if it's raining in IN the rain has passed WI
2 - Not a whole lot of hills between IN and WI. The hills start around the dells and IL is not known for its hills.

The only hills around here are in the Fox Lake area, a popular boating trap.
Oh, the tollways in IL. have new signs on them now, but you still have to pay a whole crap load just to get the WI border. (that is if you survive IL's potholes).

Put us in as a HELL YEAH for coming up. And 12 is a very scenic and pretty drive up, but just a little too slow for my tastes (and I've done that drive way too many times, it lacks appeal for me. And I live not too far from 12.)

I love those IL roads, my dog it makes my commute fun and I just love how IL keeps screwing up on us WI drivers with IPass (charging us double)! On the way back last weekend from test driving Madeline (cabrio, white w/red interior - was an orphan, is now named because she came home with us yesterday (Friday the 13th)) Mr MDM got to change a flat in the mud on his HHR because 41N is more pothole than road.

Still up in the air if the wife is going, she isn't really into most of my toys, so maybe the kid if he isn't working. Otherwise I'll be Rallying alone.

jefferios makes this sound sooo fun with the smart convoys and all, I'm hoping on going, I know a friend that will be quite pleased to come.

But I may need need to leave him at a waterpark during the rally because he is not exactly into the smart thing just yet

BUT first comes aquiring the smartie...

Yea...regarding the convoy's I'll need to figure those out soon. Thanks for the reminder. Right now we have roughly 30+ cars attending. Hopefully we can get that number to 50!

Or 200 but that seems too hard to achieve!

Well we are up to 42 now. 200 would be insane...and I would HAVE to re-arrange the plan completely.

Also, I got the reservation paid for at Devils Lake State park. I am going to wait a few weeks more before I start to organize the convoy's to the Dells.
