September 14, 2015: The north end of WI 42 brings you right to a ferry to Washington Island. It does not lead to the Ultimate Question.
An unexpected four-day break offered me the chance to close some gaps in my Wisconsin travels. I went to the Door County peninsula (years before, I had just ducked across the county line) and had quite a scenic drive. Unfortunately, some closures on WI 42 meant I wouldn’t get all of that highway clinched.
On this trip, I clinched US 10 in Wisconsin and by extension all of US 10 from Fargo to the ferry at Manitowoc, plus two counties sticking out of my map. I only have eight counties to go in Wisconsin — but those eight are along or near US 8, which is quite a ways up.
