The property is about 180 miles from our permanent residence in Franklin, WI, a southwest suburb of Milwaukee. The trip takes about three hours and fifteen minutes depending on traffic and weather conditions. The path I usually follow from Franklin is as follows:
  • Follow I94 west toward Madison.
  • Take the I90 east route to the Hy.12/18 exit.
  • Follow Hy.18 west to Dodgeville.
  • Continue west on Hy.18 to Fennimore.
  • Go north on Hy.61 when it intersects Hy.18.
  • Continue north on Hy.61 past Boscobel.
  • At the intersection of Hy.61 & 60, turn left.
  • Continue on Hy.60 for 0.1mi. to the junction with Hy.E.
  • Turn right onto Hy.E.
  • Continue on Hy.E to the Hy.131 intersection.
  • Turn left and continue to Steuben.
  • At the intersection of Hy.179, turn right.
  • Continue for 1.1mi. to the Kickapoo Valley Road.
  • Turn left and drive 2.7mi. to the Barnes property.
