Here is what the current list of open and under construction stores looks like. Over 100 more looking for decent store fronts, hence the need of a 5th wheel and new truck.

That thing's got room for the whole circus too!

It looks like the Milwaukee area is on the map. My condolences that you have to visit there. Wisconsin gets waaaaaay better when you get north of Milwaukee and Madison. (Ok, I did spend a few years living in the Milwaukee area in school. Enjoyed the area, but at this point in my life, I don't have any desire to live in, or in that close of proximity to, large cities.)

If you do make it to Milwaukee, one of the things we used to enjoy doing was hitting up Lakefront Brewery on Friday afternoons for a tour, then finding a place nearby to have a couple more, then heading back to Lakefront for their Friday Night Fish Fry. It's been 14 years since I've been there, and need to get back there sometime.

If you head north to the better parts of Wisconsin, we're pretty much on the doorstep of Door County. We live 5 blocks from Lake Michigan, though it's certainly colder and less salty than the ocean you're used to.

My hat's off to you and wish you luck with that behemoth trailer. We often have 3 or 4 calls a year where someone pulled off the road to let others pass and sink to the axles, or roll over and the list goes on. They can be great, just not on back roads. Remember to use the trucker GPS option to avoid being over weight on many roads, hitting over-passes and finding bridges missing. Hope you enjoy the time.

I hope the quality of your trailer is okay. Have friends that have truly struggled with that to the point the sold at a tremendous loss. Best wishes and do a good shake down trip.
