Heading to Wisconsin in the A.M.

[QUACKHEAD]

Hey guy's, I've gotta get up early(5:00AM) and head out toward Milwaukee. With it being close to the 4th of July, the flights were booked up, and what tickets were available are high as giraffe kitty. So the Government thought it would be good for me to drive up. I am thinking about stopping about 65 miles north of St Louis, right at the Illinois, Missouri line. My question is, has any one been in the area, are there any towns that I should avoid staying in? Any towns that I might should stay in. I have one night for a hotel stay for the trip up, and the same coming back. I have a place reserved once I get to Waukesha.
