After a really busy time in the UP, we took a more leisurely pace in Wisconsin. We had to get some maintenance done on the truck so only hit a couple of places.
The Wisconsin Dells along the Wisconsin River was a gorge formed by receding glaciers. We took a boat ride along the upper dells and a duck boat ride along the lower dells.
As part of the boat ride along the upper we landed twice, once to explore some unique formations along a path they called ‘Witches Walk’ and then another where besides unique formations we watched a dog leap across a chasm in replication of ‘Leaping the Chasm’. The formations both along the boat ride and the walks were really interesting to see.
The lower Dells Duck Ride took us through some wooded areas along the Wisconsin River after the Kilbourne Dam as well as through the river and some off shoots.
The city of New Glarus is a village that has maintained much of its Swiss heritage and old world architecture and traditions. The day we visited they were celebrating their Swiss Independence Day – Volksfest. Below are two videos of the entertainment they provided.
Next up – Rock Island, IL and St Louis, MO.
