I'd pick a root canal over driving east on 494 at rush hour,  but I'll be there one way or the other.

what rush hour are you talking about
once you're past MOA even during real rush hour 494 goes fast...and a 7:30 start means it's a bit past rush hour in my book

Until you get to Inver Grove Heights and you hit the backup from the bridge/road construction near the Highway 61 exit going over to Hastings. That's a nightmare prior to 6pm but as Z said, it'll be fine by 6:30.

Well, at the WACODA Bridge at 61, there is a lot of construction, which slows things back to 52... |

Yeah, I know. But I'll probably head over a little early to do some pre-caching since this will be my first time in that area.

I'm going to try and make it this week.
But dang if the nearest unfound on that side of the river isn't 8 miles away.

Yeah, if I gotta drive 27 miles to get there from Hopkins, you can drive 8 to find a cache you haven't found before.

You misunderstand. It's 20 miles to get to the two WNC's and another 8 miles to my nearest unfound.
Oh and SB- Forward Observer my friend.
