Route description

Highway 108 begins at a junction with Highway 16 in the Town of Hamilton in La Crosse County, just north of the border of West Salem. The highway heads northeast along a brief concurrency with County Highway C, then runs east for a short distance before heading north. From here, the route passes through a rural area and climbs a winding ridge. Past the ridge, Highway 108 continues north, intersecting two county highways and crossing Fleming Creek. It turns northeast briefly before continuing north, where it intersects with another two county highways. The highway continues east briefly where it meets County Highway C before curving to the northeast. It then crosses Davis Creek before entering Jackson County.[1] In Jackson County, the route passes Melrose-Mindoro High School before heading north through the Town of Melrose. Highway 108 meets Highway 71 in the town, and the two highways continue northward together. The highways cross the Black River and continue north into the village of Melrose. Both highways terminate at a junction with Highway 54 in southern Melrose.

gollark: Water is *not* a good medium because stuff moves around a ton.

gollark: It would be more practical to write information into diamond isotopically, by putting either carbon-12 or carbon-13 atoms in at each place in the lattice. You can apparently read that out with something something intersecting lasers.
