Looks like it's a nice drive, I won't be able to make it. 7 hr drive each way is a bit too much for me

Ok Noon it is, I would say let meet at the West end of Elm Park on W Main st aka highway 50.
This is near the West end of town along the lake shore. At the east end of the park is the Library and the beach. You can see it on google maps in the satellite View. It's a long string of angle parking and we should meet at the west edge. Make your potty stops before joining up.

We can then depart around 12:30, follow the lake around clockwise, and make a stop in Fontana at the Municipal lot. Restrooms are available over there. Then continue on our way along the north side of the lake through Williams bay and meander back to Lake Geneva. A lot of the roads have a 25 MPG speed limit. So it may only be a 26 mile trip, but it will take time to cover.

Lets hope for a bright day, My mother could never justify a trip to door county for fall colors because she always got plenty living along the south shore.
