Explore Hwy 51 Wisconsin 2011 Intro

Hello Blog Followers,
Here we are once again getting ready to depart on a much needed vacation. Our home repairs are done (from the hail storm on May 12), and we are ready to salvage what we can out of the summer.
This year we decided to stay closer to home (alot less windshield time, too) and to explore what Wisconsin has to offer.
US Hwy 51 runs North-South through the United States, beginning in Louisiana just north of New Orleans and ends in Hurley, Wisconsin, just a few miles from Lake Superior. The six states in runs through have joined together to promote the run through their states. We are going to drive the lenghth of the state from Beloit to Hurley. From there, we are going to visit Ashland on Lake Superior, then on to Iron Mountain to visit family, then home. In all, we will be out for 8 days, from Sunday to Sunday. For more information on Hwy 51, visit www.explorehwy51.com
Cities we will be visiting are Beloit, Janesville, Edgerton, Stoughton, Madison, Portage, Coloma, Wautoma, Stevens Point, Wausau, Merrill, Tomahawk, Minocqua, Manitowish Waters, Mercer, Hurley, Ashland. Each of these towns, small or large, have something unique to offer, and we plan to find it and photograph it!
As always, we will report to you from the road each evening. So, check back often to see where we've been and what we've seen along the way.
The journey starts tomorrow...we'll see you from the road!
Susan and Denis
