Devil's Drive 2017 Sat. October 14th

Route Map UPDATED 9/18: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XBTOxpyQTSmbNJXXzGgGAtbm0p0&usp=sharing

UPDATE 9/18:  I expect that Devil's Head Resort should be a safe bet as a final congregating point that wont be a nuisance to anyone (remember the Holy Hill parking lot 2 years ago during Saturday Mass?!?). We will stop at the resort for a photo so someone with a >2.4 megapixel camera can get a few shots of the group. If this ending point somehow isn't workable, the contingency plan is to stop at the truck stop gas station/hotels by the I-90 onramp. Unless you live in Baraboo I would imagine everyone will be hopping on I-90 to get home so this should be a good place to stop and fuel up and chat for a bit before heading home. See the little red star on the map by I-90.

Anyways, it wasn't my intention to type this much red text and also not my intention to over-plan/over-manage the drive but hopefully the additional forethought will help ensure its a safe and enjoyable event.  -Snapple

Minimal traffic on the road at that time [emoji1303]

I've got a wedding that day.

9:30am in Madison means I leave at 7:15am. Saturdays are for the boys... and sleeping in

There's plenty of time to sleep when you are dead

I know a Madison-based drive is farther away for some of you, including the usual Milwaukee-based members, and the time may not be appealing. It will be good to give some of the Madison-based members/lurkers a chance to enjoy a meet since it will be a little more conveniently located for them, and also give the Milwaukee-based members a taste of some different roads than usual.

Its something different.  Its worth a shot. Hopefully more than 2 people show up

Milwaukee area caravan to the meet with a stop for breakfast somewhere along the way??

I'm up for that! As we get closer to October hopefully we can get a solid count of who is committed.

We also need a photographer. Who has a DSLR and more talent than the average Craigslist poster?

Interesting. I really like this idea! Count me in, my morning is completely open on the 19th. If anyone wants to stop at my shop prior to the event so your not sitting in a Texas Roadhouse parking lot, you are more than welcome to come by. Unless@Snap has a reason for using that location my shop is along the route from Milwaukee and only 2 minutes directly off of the interstate.

Thoughts?

i will do photos at the stops. i have more talent than the average CL poster, I surmise.

wish I could do cool photos during the drive, but, its hard to power slide and hold a camera at the same time. 

in for MKE breakfast club.

[suspenceful]

If I attend (which I hope to), I'll bring my DSLR and drone. I'll probably have my girlfriend with me to snap rollers.

I did not know this!

I chose a start point that is at the buttcrack of the major freeways, easily identifiable, but not a large parking lot such as a mall where people can get lost, and not in use during the hours we will be there (see how much thought I put into this? Sheesh!)

Let me look into it, i'd love to have a peek at the shop space and cars anyhow if you will be joining

I'm oncall at work that day but I will see if someone can trade with me, I'll try my best to make this since its only a two hour drive instead of the usual 4 for me.

There is a park and ride right off of the exit by my shop as well, and it will be much less hectic than easttowne mall area. On the other hand, I have room for about 40-50 cars in my parking lot (just confirmed with google satellite maps) so there's that too.

ROUTE UPDATED, check the link in the original post. No longer passing through Waunakee. These are good changes! I noted that one of the original roads was gravel/washboard. I will be driving the whole route via google streetview to make sure there arent any other unpaved roads

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

After scoping out the route on Street View, I found few more improvements to the route and made yet another revision. Reasons for changes: less prone to getting split up or lost, better continuity, removed a boring section, some roads were just too narrow and underdeveloped, and a decreased overall travel time by staying on the freeway just a tad longer.  This should be the last one unless I find out there is some road construction or something else going on. Check it out in the first post!
