Another question then: I am planning to fly from PVD Providence RI to
Madison MSN on 24/25th July. The backend on the route was to be MKG
(Muskegon), BAE (Badger) and MSN. Is it likely then that I will not get
cleared IFR through to MSN and if wanted to follow that route would be
best to cancel IFR and go VFR weather permitting even getting a pop up
clearance at MSN to descend through cloud?


There's no problem at all with that route. It takes you through Milwaukee
approach, not Chicago approach. MKG.V2.SUDDS is a standard arrival route
so you're going with the flow.



There is with the "pop up" though if you want to use it to file for a
descent into OSH during the flyin. I think the limit last year was
150 miles out for a pop up.

Get a copy of the NOTAMs for the fly-in if that is where you are
headed. It's a whole different ball game starting 3 days prior to the
start of the fly-in.

I used to file and go in IFR, but I understand they have you join the
VFR traffic if the weather is good.

BTW, I cross the lake to the north of MSN and always get Minneapolis
who hands me off to Chicago with the approach at OSH being under
Chicago's control. OTOH I'm between Milwaukee and Green Bay when I
cross the shore line.

With the 24/25th being days people are going to OSH I was wondering whether
that would have any influence.
