We left on a Friday to go to IL. There was a big wreck on our usual route, so we took the scenic drive through WI. For the 1st time in 30 years, the timing worked out and we were able to hit the New Glarus brewery. They are closed on weekends, holidays, days around holidays, and usually any days that we are in the area. We arrived ten minutes before they closed. Just enough time to get some t-shirts and a pint of the best beer in Wisconsin: Spotted Cow. JP was very impressed with it all and gave a thumbs up for a return visit sometime.
Not many people know that the four-wheel-drive was invented in Lanark, IL.
We took the scenic route home, too. NW IL, SW WI, NE IA, and SE MN are beautiful and the drive is a full 50 miles shorter than the usual freeway route. We did not have to refuel along the way.
