Better PACKED than sorry

It seems like packing for driver training in central Wisconsin during the winter resembles packing for deep sea diving.  I'm no stranger to cold weather, but I don't need the worst of winter hitting me when I have enough things to focus on. 

Wisconsin is notorious for having bad winters, but so far there hasn't been any accumulation in the Marshfield area, just a dusting every week or two.  Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I like to expect the worst that way I'm not easily surprised.

This pile of clothes and gear doesn't hold a candle to my bit for winter camping in North Conway this past February.  And that was just for a weekend.  Luckily this time don't have to haul it a mile on a sled up a mountain.  Well, I might be using a sled to get to HQ from the hotel if the weather goes to hell.  I'm really hoping I won't need those snow boots.

I also went to the bank and got a whole mess of 5's and singles for the tolls, looks like its going to be about $22 each way.  I can thank Ohio for about $15 of that.  Unfortunately my Escort doesn't have an amphibious kit, so I can't really cut across the lakes
