Driving across Wisconsin


We left La Crosse the next morning after the wedding.
Look at this house! 4 stories.  I'd sure like to tour through it!

This part of Wisconsin is rather hilly.

We took Highway 90 across to Tomah and connected with Highway 21.  90 is a 4-lane road and we usually take 2-lane when we are "adventuring", but as we had never been on this road before, we decided it was ok.  



You have to wait on trains sometimes on 2-lane roads.
We are used to that, living in a railroad town ourselves.


What a pretty church!  Love the bell tower!


We know someone by that name!

I wish we could grow tall evergreens like this in Kansas!

Historic marker


"Stop!   We have to see this!!"


Al turned around and we got out to investigate.



There were no signs at all, but we found out it is Shiprock wayside.  Evidently, someone thought it looked like a ship.  It is located on Highway 21 close to Friendship.


We are in Wisconsin, for sure.

An unusual cloud formation!

A rock silo little house?

























The kids texted and wanted to know where we were.  They expected us a lot earlier in the day I think, but our adventures were taking a little longer than we thought.

Adam warned us not to take the road through Rosendale, Wisconsin.  It has a bit of a reputation for giving out LOTS of speeding tickets!






An investigation showed that it had an average of 1,714 tickets a year. To put that into perspective, Green Bay, which is 100 times larger than Rosendale, issued an average 1,542 speeding tickets per year over that same period.


The gas station even sells these t-shirts!















So we detoured and kept on our trip and got to the kid's house by 2:30, rather than at noon.
