Bradlee - Thanks. We will be leaving here soon and meet everyone tomorrow at the Library (I sent you an email so please call me if there are changes to the schedule otherwise I'll be touring the upper-Midwest for thrills). I'm hoping to get to Chicago before 10 PM so that we can take in an authentic deep dish pizza but we're looking forward to some more time in WI. The last time that my wife and I were there was with my last car group where we had an outing in the Wisconsin Dells so this is MUCH closer (at least an hour). I just turned 13,000 miles today at 11.5 weeks old but this trip will add almost 1,500 miles so at 12 weeks old my Civic will have 14,500 miles for ~1,200 miles/week. Wheeeeeeee.

As an aside - I will be making a side trip West to Milton, WI where there is a community plot named "Schilberg Park" though it is unrelated to my family but it is worth it to see my name in lights.

--> Averaged 685 miles/week and 49.0 mpg in first year (35.7k miles from Aug 7, 2006 to Aug 7, 2007)
