FT MCcoy in January

[bigdaddyof4]

I'll be making a 9+ hour drive in my EB to FT McCoy Wisconsin in January for some schooling and wonder if any members are in the area?
What is there to do in that area assuming I get time to get away?

Ft Mcoy in Jan might be tough for activities. Most tourist stuff will be shut down. Make sure your antifreeze is up to snuff and your washer fluid is good to @ -10*F. If you are a football fan (packers) try to get to Lambeau field and or a game. It is a one of a kind place that most teams don't have. There are numerous homes that allow parking in the yard and offer food-drinks and such in the neighborhood before, during, and after the game. Most don't give a damn who you root for and are welcoming. There is a ski area within driving distance but don't remember the town it's in. Some hotels within driving distance have year round water Parks. Not a lot of help but please do enjoy the state where we came from and frequently visit. Thank you for your service.

Ol' Fort McCoy! There's always McCoys on post (note sarcasm).

When I first became a DA civilian I had to do my entry training there at what use to be the ARTEP, how cold was it? Everything was self contained in the bldg, dfac, shopette, lodging and classrooms. But then again in a cold wx wuss from S. Tx I don't think there's much going on in Sparta and LaCrosse was a good lil hop

Catching a game at Lambeau would be the S!#$ though!!!
