Fishing lull, going on a non fishing vacation.

[TOXIC]

Well, if I would have had the boat, I would have gone straight west until I hit the hi-way that runs north through Madison.  That was the route with the boat every year after the first year when I pulled through Chicago to my brother and sister in law’s house in Inverness.  I swore never again.

The mileage of my trip to Green Bay Wisc, down to Oshkosh then Milwaukee onto La Crosse Wisc , Minneaplois Mn and back to Fargo Nd which included in town driving checking out sites totaled 1419 miles. 

I left fargo with a full tank and refilled to full when arriving back into fargo. My 2004 Honda civic coupe LX with 153,000 miles, 1.7 litre 4 cyl, 117hp naturally aspirated engine with automatic 4 speed with no mods averaged 39.4 mpg, best was 42 mpg on a straight highway run.

Car was loaded down with 170 lbs of gear. I aired up my tires cold to 33psi, recommended is 30psi and ran the air con, engine burnt no oil.
