MAZDATEAM to invade the WI Summer Meet!

[Wagonbacker9]

4 hours?! oh... both ways... well, its a car meet. Its up to you... but we'd love to see all the cars we can.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

No, it's about 3 or so hours one way...


edit: Eh, I'll mull it over. I'm already driving around 3 hours round trip on Saturday the 1st to Waukegan for a meet.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

i show 2.5, and seeing as its a sunday, traffic shouldn't be awful

edit: you might wanna come up hwy 20.... I could get you guys a route that would beat the hell out of a freeway and only add about 20 mins or so to the drive...

 

[Saskatchewan17]

^That's true, it should only be 2.5 hours... I'll think about it.

 

[Cataphract_40]

man up! and start loving driving. (headbang)

I drove 33 hours straight back in january of this year, phoenix -> chicago.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

I have the exact map from address to address showing me 2:27 and 125 miles via I88E - I294N - I94W.

could you throw in some good curves? if so, I'd be interested.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I'd take 20 to 120 to 43 to 83 to X. slower, but shorter and a lot more interesting than freeways. no tolls either. 94W is north of where you wanna go anyway. its the complete other side of waukesha.

If you're interested I can introduce you to my FAVORITE stretch of road after the meet. it has 2 dips and like 5 NICE sweeping curves in about a quarter mile... a BLAST at 50 in my mom's subaru, easy at 55 in my MSP. other than that lil section, its boring as hell tho.

 

[solidtrance]

Deffinately, depending on how far out of the way.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

I think It'd be harder for our Grayslake/Waukegan people to go that way... the route Google maps suggests that's more "scenic" looks like this (from my address)

4. Turn left at N Eola Rd 4.6 mi
5. Turn right at Butterfield Rd/IL-56 1.4 mi
6. Turn left at IL-59/State Route 59
Continue to follow IL-59 21.2 mi
7. Turn left at Algonquin Rd/IL-62/IL-68
Continue to follow IL-62 7.1 mi
8. Turn right at IL-31/N Main St
Continue to follow IL-31 12.5 mi
9. Turn right at W Elm St/IL-120 0.3 mi
10. Turn left at N Richmond Rd 2.8 mi
11. Continue on IL-31/Widoff Dr

12. Continue straight onto US-12

13. Merge onto US-12 W via the ramp to Lake Geneva 16.4 mi
14. Take exit 321 to merge onto I-43 N toward Milwaukee 16.8 mi
15. Take exit 43 for WI-83 toward Mukwonago 0.3 mi
16. Turn left at State Rd 83/WI-83
Continue to follow WI-83 5.3 mi
17. Turn right at County Rd I/River Rd
Continue to follow River Rd 3.6 mi

River Rd

 

[Wagonbacker9]

that route zig zags horribly. my route cuts right through the middle of most of em. i'm allergic to your tolls, so I avoid at all costs. lol

 

[Saskatchewan17]

You think you could punch in a good route and link it to me then?

Just do Aurora, IL to the final Address and play around with the route a bit.

 

[Saskatchewan17]

On second though, I withdraw my previous statement. I want to drive up. I kinda want a passenger though... to talk to. Or at least a CB.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

anything south of the border edit to your liking... but this is basically my recommendation:

30.8 mi

Here, destination C is that fun lil piece of road I was talkin about, close to my rents. Doesn't look like much on a map but its fun: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sou....847905,-88.343468&spn=0.071612,0.125313&z=13

 

[Saskatchewan17]

Does it basically branch out toward rockford, then go north all the way up on 39 -43?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

only on the freeway for like a half hr total... counting US 12 as a freeway in WI.
