108 miles one-way for a HS game? Wow...was this a play-off game or something? Or just a really rural area?

Nope, just a conference game between two .500-ish teams.

Outside Madison, it gets pretty rural fast, but 104 miles one way is a bit far, even for me.

That said, I worked a regional (1st or 2nd round) playoff game there 2 years ago (and they remembered me from that ) and worked the baseball regional final there last year so I had been there a few times before.

Or maybe his family moved during the game?

My family did that to me once.

It took me a week before I found them again.

How bout this. GOt an email from the president of our association Tuesday morning looking for someone willing to drive 150 miles on Wednesday, then catch a flight and fly another 800 miles to the game site. Worke 10 games over 3 days, and then fly home. $75 per game, working 3-man, and then head home Sunday. ALl expenses paid. I jumped right on it. Look for Barrow, Alaska, and you'll see where it is -- the northernmost location in the United States.

I once won a trivia contest by knowing that Alaska is the northernmost, the westernmost and the easternmost (it's islands cross over into the the Eastern hemisphere) of the 50 states. BTW - Hawaii is the southernmost.

I'd jump on that, too. Good deal. Congrats.

Don't forget your .485 cents per mile deduction!!

104 miles in WI takes 104 minutes. In Chicagoland, 104 minutes means 30 miles.

Welcome to 2008, where it's actually 50.5 cents per mile. But they pay the mileage on my drive too.

Just did a road trip to Boise. Driving faster than 85 across Northern NV just makes me uncomfortable. Though i did get a ticket about 5 years ago for going 90 outside Tonapah.
