    you dont like the tollways? lol yeah those blow ass...no one got pulled over in wisconsin did they? they are expensive and make you pay on the spot...
    Yeah, they were all on the other side or they already had someone pulled over on our side but my god, they were everywhere. And there were so many roads in the trees between the two highways that they could hide in. You had to be very careful, I'm glad I had a good eye with me. When I was going through the second tollway I started growing impatient and I pretty much slid through it and broke the b*tch in half. It left some yellow paint on my windshield but I got it off with some spit and a razor blade.

      haha nice write up. didn't spend much time in downtown this trip but been there before. on the dot on everything...including the 4 dollar ice cream cone at HIN.
      The stuff wasnt that much more expensive compared to events at the fargo dome or the alerus center, its just they charge you that extra buck for everything. You pull out 3 dollars and then they add another one for a plastic container with a tablespoon of cheese in it. It catches you on the blind side.

        5 - Walkie-Talkies were the best idea of the trip.

        hell yeah! It helps alot to have walkie talkies when you have 2 cars on long trips. I took them out to sturgis last year...was awesome.

        We've come to the point where no extraordinary preformance can occur without the presumption that someone has cheated.

            nicely written John.
            sure glad my mom told me to eat carrots as a kid...helped my eyesight out quite a bit.
            do not forget all the vette's we saw enroute there as well as on the return trip.
            saw more Mini's last weekend then i had seen in the last few years.
            lots of battle scars on vehicles. some minor and some pretty serious.
            do not forget about the $2.75 water in the rooms.

            definitely a trip to talk about for years to come.
            this was my first trip to the big city. i was expecting big but what i got was much more than big. i lived in the SF bay area for 4 years, nov of 2003 i went to KC for USACi finals, been through the Twin Cities many a time, grew up close to Des Moines, IA and well not a single one of those prepared me for Chicago. it was HUGE. seems like there is always something to do or see as well. at least that is the impression i gathered.

            and for a last note here.
            walkie talkies are the bomb. they so saved alot of hassles and headaches and roam minutes on the cell phones. now i need to get me my own pair.

            thanx for the invite John.
            we doing this again?

                  yes, well put John...and don't worry about me coming to a screeching halt on an exit. I'm just glad the avenger didn't suffer the same fate as my last car. and if could answer Monty's question...yes, we will be doing this every year, given we are able. Chicago kicked our asses a couple of times but i have know regrets. Definitely the trip of a lifetime.
