Narrative:

On 9/thu/01, I called green bay flight service at XA00. I was told I could fly, but to make sure that the airport I was flying to was open. I didn't fly on thursday. I went up to adams/friendship airport to pick up my airplane. That was grounded on the day of the terrorist attack. I believe that GA had been cleared to fly. I took off and heard other air traffic. At about XA30 the madison frequency, which I had been monitoring called a plane north of baraboo VOR. I looked for another plane, but could not see one. I called madison approach and was informed to land at the nearest airport - baraboo/delis. I squawked XXXX a directed and landed. I called green bay flight service and advised them of the situation. I called madison tower at XA00 and advised them that I was on the ground and advised them of the situation.
