[SEL] Buckley, Baraboo, Portland?

[Alan]

What stupid pricing.
With as slow as that ferry is charging that much is ridiculous.
$281.00 would sure buy you a lot of fuel.
$281.00 to save 13 minutes seems kind of silly too.
 
Thanks for checking that out, Dave.

I talked with a gal from the Badger Ferry (No Paul, NOT that kind of  
FERRY!) today about the price(s) of crossing from MI to WI for the  
shows.
        Truck        $77.00
        Trailer        130.00 ($5.50 per ft--my 18' trailer is 23.6' long)
        One preson    74.00
        Total        TOO MUCH!

PS, Damn, another GOOD idea gone to hell!
