Oshkosh, Madison, Milwaukee...

[andrewb70]

I will be moving to Oshkosh sometime this summer and I am just curious to see who is around in that area, etc....

Cheeseheads...lots and lots of them. LOL

Seriously, Road American is Elkhart Lakes, Kohler (Plumbing) property near Sheboygan, plenty to do in Milwaukee and Madison. Madison has the Univ. of Wisconsin (main campus). You probably would do well to click on search both Milwaukee and Madison Chambers of Commerce, Travel Bureaus, etc.

There is a fun driving weekend Sept. 19-21 in the Wisconsin Dells called Musclecar Adventures. Daily cruises to local businesses (wineries, breweries, cheese factories, etc.) and some fun, hilly back roads to play on; this IL 'flatlander' loved the roads. http://www.musclecaradventures.com We went last year and will most likely go again this fall.

Just think...you could become a 'Packer-backer', too.

Hey Rich,

I actually lived in the Chicago area from 1989 to 2005, south of you about 15 miles, along Route 59...in West Chicago...LOL

I am looking forward to being "up there" again, but reading the winters. I've lived south of the Mason-Dixon line for the last 9 years and the blood has gotten thin.

Andrew

[lzdick]

Yes, Andrew, thin blood wouldn't have bode well this winter; one of the coldest plus snowiest in Chicago history. Don't know if there is such a medication as 'blood-thickener'...but be assured you wouldn't want to be sucking up too many aspirin.

Suggestion: You may want to leave that ol' red & blue flag with Bubba, Skeeter and the rest of the boys. All they fly in your 'new' neck-of-the-woods is green with a big gold 'G' on it. LOL...no...LMAO.

[1truckguy78]

Lol yes cheese heads. Im from brown deer wi. Just north of Milwaukee. Also lived in Chicago, for college.

I'm in the Milwaukee area...
I'll be up in the Oshkosh area for the EAA Air Adventure in July.
If you're at all interested in aircraft; vintage, experimental, military, etc... Oshkosh is THE place to be.

Sounds like a great excuse to have a bunch of car guys together. If I am settled into a house by then, I will definitely have a gathering at my place. Having lived in Memphis for the last 5 years I have come to really enjoy good BBQ. While Wisconsin offers their own culinary delights, BBQ is not one of them. I have resigned myself to the fact that if I want slow smocked Memphis style BBQ, I will have to make it myself. And what better way to enjoy BBQ than with a bunch of fellow car enthusiasts and some adult beverages...

Jeff, I'll be working at that little drinking school. LOL You must be pretty close to Ken, who is building that killer 66 Chevelle with the LSA engine.

Awesome. I am excited to have so many members of the forum in the area. I should be moved into my new house by the end of May. I am pretty excited about it.

Andrew

[martZ]

I'm in the Madison area. Let me know when you guys plan something.

[Damn True]

Talk to me when you are ready to buy that smoker. I did a ton of research when I bought mine. I can help guide you to one that'll fit your needs.

In the mean-time, get yourself a pair of these son!



....and a snow-blower.
