CBQ Bill....l had made trips years ago to SW Wisconsin to visit Little Norway and House on the Rock, so thought l was familiar with area. I was coming back east from Silverton/Durango and detoured up l-76, lined with beet towers and dinkies, to l-80, to Des Moines, to see Living History Museum, then north on l-35 to l-90, east to exit to Baraboo, circus museum, and nearby MidContinent RR Museum, with a Q sidedoor caboose, since bashed from a kit, then slo-o-ow two lane roads to and from Potosi through (over) Dubuque, not into, and back into Ill. and finally! hit the Interstate again at Rockford. I passed up a lot of scenic and historical sites. I don't remember it being a long drive until l hit the Wisc./Ill. 2-lanes.
