    Default Well this sucks for vacation.

    Highway 2, in Wisconsin, that we would be taking in 9 days, is washed out from flood waters it seems.

    Maybe you could find an alternate route?

    Even better, they need to rent the General Lee from Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

    The detour they have adds an hour to the trip it seems.

    Does that mean it'll be an hour longer until you're back here?

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    I do hope you are able to bounce back from this seemingly insurmountable adversity

    It is almost like the stars are aligned against you. You must press on.

    But it'll be a scenic hour!

    That's kind of a bummer; we were planning to visit Bayfield/Apostle Islands later this year. Have to travel that same route. It really is beautiful country. You won't mind the detour too much.

    It says the road will reopen in December. There are side roads around the closure, but I have no clue what shape they are in. They aren't blocked off like this though, so it's worth a try. The first day through these areas, to our first destination is just under 14 hours of drive time alone. Mom wants to start at 4-5 in the morning. I'd rather not take the route adding another hour.

    Damn, that's a long time! There aren't any other routes that just bypass this area?

    Some side roads, that are hopefully in OK shape.
