Ladysmith - Drive Day

The Guys are back on the road - Wednesday was a drive day to Ladysmith, yes, this is a town in Wisconsin. We got on the road around 1:30p. It's Jimmy, Lee and I in the Actor van again as Steve and Doug are driving in Steve's truck. Speaking of Steve, we had some drama on the days off. In what can only be described as a freak snow tubing accident Steve's voice box was head butted Sunday night leaving him with no voice. Luckily it doesn't look like there is any permanent damage, but in the challange of the week, he is not allowed to speak at all until our Thursday evening performance when he hopes to have at least 75% use of his voice. Feel better Steve!!

Anywho, Jimmy, Lee and I got on the road and headed North. Our 5 hour trip actually took around 5 1/2, we had a couple of lovely comfort stops that made several variety of meat product and Packer souvenier available to us, but we were strong. Finally we got to our Hotel in Ladysmith, as you can see, they were ready for us! The hotel is great, a cozy lobby with big comfy couches in front of a fire. there is a pool with greenish water and a huge hot tub.

Because of the Load in schedule, Bill, Craig and Becca wrapped up for the day and pulled in to the hotel at the same time we did and we were all able to go to dinner together. Someone had recommended the El Rancho restaurant to Bill and off we went. It was Mexican night at the El Rancho and we had a l i e s u r e l y dinner... for an hour and a half on some... Mexican food. Lee put it best when he said, "Well, we are just south of the boarder, unfortunatly it's the Canadian boarder."

Today, tourism in Greater Ladysmith or, High speed internet at the hotel! We'll do a show, load out and get ready for Eagle River, where, if the local weather report is correct, it snowed for 2" / hour last night. Hmmm.
