Sure hope you didn't run into any Hodags or Igarots, passing so close to Rhinelander...
You mention some places I haven't been since my youth, I'm sure the roads are better now. Once in the '70s, we set out for summer vacation, probably going to drive from Ogema WI to northern MN to visit grandparents. My father wanted to drive his really nice Adenauer. We got a few miles down Highway 86, and hit some nasty road construction; the pavement was gone and all traffic was squeezed onto rough loose gravel. My dad listened to that gravel beating the underside of the car for about 5 seconds, stopped and did a U-turn, got in a cursing match with the road crew for driving in their road bed during the turn, and went straight back home. We unpacked the Benz and loaded into some beater American iron, and took that instead. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On September 10, 2015 5:30:55 PM EDT, Curly McLain via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >Last weekend, there was a price inversion from >normal.
