Explore Wisconsin Adventure May 9-14th 2019

Don & Karen from Arizona joined Kent & Sarah in the Badger State of Wisconsin for 5 days in May 2019 for exploring and relaxation. On a cloudy May 9th we arrived in LaCrosse and explored downtown. Next we ventured to Trempealeau County and hiked in Perrot State Park with an evening at the Trempealeau Hotel. Friday, Day 2 started with a gorgeous panoramic view of LaCrosse from Grandad Bluff followed by a 90 minutes Authentic Paddlewheel ride on the Mississippi, and then a visit to Pepin - home of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum. The Burlington Hotel & Quilt Shop in Alma and then Friday night Wisconsin traditional foods at the Golden Frog in Fountain City with golden sunlight ending another fine day. On Saturday, Day 3 we picnicked in and then hiked the trails of Devil's Lake State Park, Sauk County. Sunday, Day 4 we toured the Wisconsin State Capitol Building, Madison; on Monday Day 5 Don & Kent explored the Horicon Marsh and vicinity: and on Day 6 with Don & Karen ready to board the Badger Bus to MLK for a flight home to Phoenix - we "terraced" at the UW Student Union which was completely empty...graduation having taken place during the weekend. Our new counties visited are Trempealeau, Pepin, and Buffalo with a revisit to LaCrosse, Sauk and of course Dane with a total of 55 out of 72 . Enjoy the tour.
