The bus will leave at 7:30 tomorrow for the race. Apparently they will leave you if you are late. This may sound early, but it gives the first runners a chance to warm up and wake up before the gun. Parents can sleep a bit longer but not a lot longer. The first race is at 9:45 and Parkside is farther south than you might think and it is a good four miles east of the freeway.
For those of you driving it is easiest to get off of I-94 at county E. The course is on the corner of E and 31 ( green bay). To park you want to go past Green bay on E to the next road ( JR) and take a left. You will see all of the buses parked on your right about a 1/4 mile before the course. There is a parking lot directly across from the course but it belongs to the petrified springs and you will get a ticket if you park there. The police usually have it blocked off anyway so there is little chance of making a mistake. This is a course that requires some walking if you want to see more than just the start and the finish. Plan on covering a good mile in long grass by the time everything is over. The weather should be great. Sunglasses and a fold up chair wouldn't be out of line. The link to the UW-P site is here:

If anyone could bring a camera that would be great. Mine didn't survive the whole vacation and I haven't replaced it yet.
The boys' spaghetti dinner is at the Tyler's tonight.
Construction on the new track also starts tonight.
Cheers!
