It is a great event and viewing thousands of motorcycles on the interstate highways is awesome. However, do NOT expect to find overnight housing between the IL border and Green Bay since hotel/motel rooms have been block booked since Jan. 2007 for this celebration. It is an experience, but please drive carefully as 100,000+ Harleys are expected to be in Milwaukee on the roads.

We're driving from the western 'burbs of Chicago to Madison Sunday to take the rest of our son's stuff to UW. This party shouldn't cause us problems on I 90 should it? We're staying overnight, coming back Monday.

CAPH,

You know, I don't know how 90 will be. 94 and 794 have been a mess for the past 3 days - but that included the normal "Up North" crowd for Labor Day. In my time in Milwaukee, I have never heard 794 referred to as a parking lot - even during Summerfest - but that's what they called it today.

I would expect that you will see large groups of bikes heading back to wherever they came from on both days.

Good luck with move in - you'll be getting some fantastic weather!

Thanks, dmdevl! I took him up on Wednesday (but wasn't able to get everything in our relatively small car). And I did see more bikes than usual going and coming. Now I know why! I guess if I was seeing them already on 90 then, we can figure on seeing more, at least on Monday.

But I'm glad I saw your post. Thanks for the heads up! And for your good wishes. Glad to hear the weather will be good as I'm hoping to be able to enjoy a beer on the Memorial Union Terrace!

Have fun at the party!
