Recently paved

The airport is being paved this month (2/2013).

The restaurant is reopened and the new people couldn't be nicer. Took some family up flightseeing and the owners even brought out a portable so that those on the ground could listen to the exchange with the tower.

Diversion turned out well

Was planning to head to southern Illinois, but fog prevented that from occurring. Instead, headed up to Janesville to get some brunch. The onsite restaurant has tasty food and exceptional service. They mention their 'homemade toast' a bunch of times on the menu. We had a laugh about it. Then it showed up. And, you know what, it was actually worth mentioning. Homemade bread, sliced thick and toasted.

Reply to @rw2: Have now done the breakfast at Picadilly Lilly. I can recommend the biscuits and gravy. They have lots of sausage in their gravy. A half order is plenty of food.

Reply to @paulie: Yup, food is good there. Sat mornings folks from around Wisc fly in for breakfast. I haven't made that particular trip there, but I here that 10-15 planes will show up on a busy morning.

The terrain is quite pretty as the Wisc river has been a protected waterway for ages and very little development was ever permitted along it.

Can be slightly difficult to find. VOR or GPS will be your friend to get you close unless you stay pretty high so you can see down into the river valley to spot it.
