So I live outside Chicago, in this vast lame wasteland of a state called Illinois.

In Wisconsin, slightly less lame because they have trout streams, but still somewhat lame because the drive is 4 or 5 hours, this weekend is opening weekend.

And I have been feeling the itch lately. The warm weather has really made things much better around here.

Is it worth it to drive up for the opening weekend? I'd leave saturday arvo, camp overnight somewhere saturday, and return Sunday night.

I think it might be better to wait until next weekend, when I'd have both days. But then I think, why not do both!!
