Wisconsin death trip

That may be a name for an album by the rock band Static X but to me and my friends it has been a term we hae used since 1998' .

It is what we call the road from Minniapolis MN. heading east all the way to illinois = HWY. 94 , if you will.

This run is always so long and boring. I have done it at least 100 times.

Last night I left Racine WI. and headed on the death trip to home after three shows.
It should of took about 6 and a half hours.

Once I hit The Dells , it was raining/sleeting, Not good when it is below 32 degrees. I seen 4 cars in the ditch upside down or on their sides , a jackknifed semi and numerous cars in the ditch. One car came up on my rear and hit the breaks and did a 180 behind me into the ditch. I was lucky.

All the semi trucks ( the ruler of the roads) were doing less than 40 miles per hour from the Dells to Eau Claire !! it was glare Ice and I was lucky to make it threw safely
it took me hours longer than expected .
I got home safely at 3:35 AM.

Wisconsin Death Trip !
