We're here

We made it. Finally.

It was a little bit of an adventure getting to Stevens Point, but we managed.

Our Milwaukee bureau chief David Wise left Milwaukee at 11:45 a.m. to pick up the rest of us in Madison. But the trip took him three hours with I-94 closed at Johnson Creek.

With I-90/94 north of Madison closed due to high water at state highway 33, the state party recommended heading up 151 to 49 at Wapaun and then heading into Stevens Point on U.S. 10.

Interestingly, the route took us through Ripon, birthplace of the Republican Party.
