What would you do in Rochester MN? Wife finally got accepted by Mayo to evaluate wtf is going on with her leg.
So happy on so many levels first being her well being but she finally will have to travel and get in the camper! I sold the “Van Cave” and bought a travel trailer as she mentioned she “might” travel with something bigger.. (even though she never once went in the van)
Route choices to Mayo are through Chicago or UP. UP is a no brainer.. However I did notice that Oshkosh is having the airshow that week. Gary, any road/route issues I need to think about going Tues 21st or returning Sat July 25th?
We also go back a month later for more tests and evaluations with greater windows of free time. Open to all suggestions.7 Comments-

Thank you Gary. Slow I can handle. Hoping to see a plane or two flying.. One of the memorable airshows I witnessed was in Eau Clare. It might have been right after they made 53 a divided hwy and was headed home to Chicago. The Blue Angels were flying and we all parked on 53 and watched 😁

Odd as it seems, even though I lived about 65 miles from Rochester for 40 years or so, I’ve never been there. It’s a decent sized city, you’ll have no trouble passing the time, If you have a lot of free time, head over to the Mississippi towns of Grumpy Old Men fame (Wabasha, Lake City, etc.). Beautiful area and only about an hour away from Rochester.

David, hopefully your wife will get the help and treatment she needs there, will keep her in my thoughts and prayers for success and good health at the Mayo!

Thank you Brian. BTW, met with the surgeon today for my 3 1/2 month follow up. Good news on range of motion but he is restricting lifting for two more months.. All I care about is it is back in service when snowmobile season opens 😉

The two dates you mention are the beginning and the last day of the Air Show in Oshkosh. If you’re just passing through, no problems, maybe a slow-down here and there, but should be fine. Appleton to Green Bay is all construction this summer, expect two lanes and slower traffic for that stretch. Take your time, stay alert, you’ll be fine!
