General directions and location:   Wis. Dells is located a 3 hr, 40 min drive
NW of Chicago on Interstate I-90.  Exit # 92 off I90/94 Wis. Dells, turn left
down ramp to Hwy 12 east.  Travel south (12 East) until 4 lanes converge into 2
lanes and then past Bronco Billy's bar (1 mile) on right.  500 ft past Bronco
Billy's turn east on Shadylane Road.  2 1/2 mi. down Shadylane Road until you
hit stop sign at intersection with CTH A.  Cross intersection continuing east
on Shadylane Rd. and it's 1/3 mi east on left side --- you will see a

For the ladies, Wis. Dells has a large "Autumn Harvest" Craft and Antique Show
on both Sat. and Sunday.  I will have a map for them to follow.  It's only 5 mi
north of our shop location.
 
I have 70-80 ft of extension cords and also a large 6/3 homebrew 100 Amp 220 V.
cord for the larger coils such as the "twins" that R. Scott Coppersmith is
bringing. Bring along extra extension cords if you have them.
 
Also, if you are coming from an nearby location, ie, Chicago, Mpls, etc, please
bring a dish to pass.  We will furnish all the meat, chips, soda, etc.  We plan
on the BBQ around 4-4:30 PM depending on the weather.
 
For those persons picking up pole pigs you might wish to arrive around 12 noon
so we can get you loaded with the forklift.
 
I will be giving away one pole pig, 10 kva, 14.4 kv,  to the best Cheesehead
Hat. This contest to be judged by all in attendance and conducted sometime
during the BBQ event.
 
Bring jackets and sweatshirts as the weather will be a bit cool, around 55-60
degrees at this time of year and cooler after dark.
 
I look forward to meeting you all and having some fun.
 
 
Best regards,
