I am located at a point on our Interstate system called 'the split.' Within Madison Wisconsin there is an intersection of three branches of that highway. One comes from Milwaukee Wisconsin, one comes from Chicago Illinois, and one heads to the upper west side of Wisconsin and into Minnesota. We call this Interstate section 39/90/94.
It's six lane highway, a poor man's Autobahn. High speeds, no stoplights and it's connected to anywhere in the nation. A Harley like my larger one can go +150 miles without stopping to top off for fuel. On a different bike I did 750 miles in one day.
I just like my area. The seasons change, we get snow for Christmas and Madison does not have the serious inner city problems that many places do. It's a college town, very liberal, very laid back.
My brother prefers Florida, and he is a college dean there. That's too muggy for me, I like the cooler less humid months in autumn.
