 How is this?  Indianapolis is closer to Ottawa than Milwaukee.  Using
 Mapquest.com it even showed an hour less of estimated travel time (14
hours
 compared to 15).
 
 I was at mapquest checking out how long it would take to get to
Lancaster,
 PA and GZG-ECC from Fargo, ND...a bit over 24 hours.

Well, using the same web site, i figured how long and how far it was to
get 
to either destination. For Indianapolis it was 1417.2 miles, est. time
of 27 
hrs, 3 min. For Milwaukee it was 1576.2 mi, est time29 hrs, 57 min.
(SIGH) 
Having already priced airline tickets to the midwest, that isn't an
option 
either. Unless I either get rich quick, win the lotto, or some other 
improbability, like Gen-Con "floating" from city to city, I'm not going
to 
get there in the near future.
