Quickie Summary: State “Trunk” Highway 73 meanders across a huge chunk of the state with little or no discernable explanation why it got the routing it got. Which, of course, makes for an interesting road trip. I hope, since I haven't run it yet... the World's Largest Talking Cow is along Highway 73 in Neillsville, though, so of course we'll be checking that out!
The Drive (South to North): COMING SOON!
Upcoming events in places along Highway 73:
Cranberry Blossom Festival, Wisconsin Rapids, June 19-22, 2008
