Gas-price pressure meets travel reality: AAA says 834,000 Wisconsinites will drive 50+ miles for Memorial Day—slightly down from last year—as higher fuel costs push some people to shorten trips or pick closer spots. Tourism strategy: South Dakota’s tourism chief argues high gas prices could be a “silver lining,” pointing to more regional driving and visitors choosing drivable destinations like the Black Hills. Local outdoors & learning: Manitowoc County Lakes Association kicked in $1,000 for a mobile land-and-water conservation learning lab headed to schools and community events. Wisconsin travel planning: If you want Apostle Islands access without the crowds, a secluded Birch Grove Recreation Area campground near Washburn offers a quieter base. Safety watch: Rusk County investigators recovered suspected human remains, and Milwaukee police are probing a homicide on the northwest side. Road-trip logistics: With Spirit Airlines shutting down, travelers are scrambling for refunds and rebooking options.
