I was finally able to drop off the travel bug. When I left Florida an 1DEC07 it was 80+ degrees and bright sunshine. I got back to Wisconsin one hour after the first winter snow storm hit. After that it was all down hill weather wise with record snow and cold. Please go to the following link to see what I am talking about.
