Jeesh! Well maybe nobody will fall off the bluff and die this year. I’m gonna say Nutbush then if nobody cares that much either way. Maybe they’ll be doing volleyball tourneys and we can watch people jump around in the sand. I’ll find a map for you **EvilAsh**. We’ve got some road construction going on in the area (as always) so I need to make sure the I-90 exit you should take is open. Will you be able to make it then **Brian**? Please do, cause poor **EvilAsh** will be bored to tears if it’s just me! I did try and call my BRF friend, but she hasn’t called back. If she shows up, nobody will be bored. Scared maybe, but not bored. ---

I drive by Nutbush on my way to / from work. You want 35 north. The problem is if you are coming from the east, I think you need to go to exit 2, turn around, and then come to the exit (3 B I think) from the west. Nutbush is on the west side of 35 (actually on the east sdie of the road it is on) The road is very soon after you go under the Intersate, there is a big sign for nutbush with a squirell on it. If you miss the road go to the stoplights and turn left then turn left again at the next road. Is the time settled? Brian ---

Here is a little map of where to go. To get to LaCrosse / Onalaska take hwy 27 out of BRF to I-90 and head west. I think it is about 30 miles. [![](https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e230/JennyGAH/NUTBUSHMAP.gif) ](https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e230/JennyGAH/NUTBUSHMAP.gif) Let us know the time, earlier would be fine with me, but probably not later. I’m a real early bird and will turn into a pumpkin at about 5 p.m.! ---

:smack: It’s more like 60 miles total travel. About 30 miles of it is on I-90. ---

Well, EvilAsh, indecisive1, and I had a micro-micro (nano? pico? atto?) dopefest today. Pictures will probably follow (I didn’;t take any) Maybe indecisive1 will start a “ask the frogs as pets owner” thread. Brian ---
