Wow, Chris, we could've ended up there together. :-) MTW is where we
went for lunch yesterday.


Yeah, but my instructor would never stop for lunch...

And, as for the weather, I can't say you were
being overly cautious, cause it was indeed MVFR at times. Well,
ATW-MTW turned out to be not bad (around 6 miles in haze most of the
way, cig about 2500agl), but back to MKE I hit several bad spots. I had
to go to 1500agl over OSH and considered landing right there for a
moment, but it got better shortly thereafter. (This was about 4PM.)


Hmm.. We started out around 4, and the ceilings were already down to 1200' -
we didn't get more than 1000' agl the entire flight. (well, we didn't really
try to, either, just held 2000 MSL.)
6 miles visibility sure ain't much at that height. Got a nice spooky view
of Holy Hill in the haze though.

Do run up there sometime and visit Joe's, across from the airport. Well
worth it.

Will have to do that - on my SOLO x-country. :P
