We’re in Madison, Wisconsin

We’re here so that LotStreetWiz can swim/bike/run the Wisconsin Ironman. Various offspring are holding the fort at home.

This time, we drove the short way: through Sarnia and Flint, past Detroit, through Chicago around the southern tip of Lake Michigan, west across the tip of Illinois and north to Madison. I think we’re about the same latitude as whence we started, perhaps 35 miles further south. This is the short route:

We did the long route in June.

We drove all day across the very glaciated landscape of the Great Lakes area. Along the way I noted various science attractions, such as a Museum of Archaeology in Michigan, a Glacial Lakes and Drumlins park, Rock Cut State Park, and a bog state park.

We were on the road for 13 hours so I’m going to get some sleep. We are staying at the Staybridge Suites in East Madison.
