Moooovin’ on up to Northern Wisconsin

 Seeing the dairy farm cows was a real thrill.  In a  totally different environment at our next stop, we’d be tucked way into the woods at Pigeon Creek Campground at Black River State Forest in Millston, WI.  We checked the weather for the next morning, and things looked pretty good for a nice hike.  About 2 1/2 miles into the hike, the heavens opened up and started soaking all of us.  That left us double-timing it back to our campsite, completely drenched. The rest of the day was spent inside listening to the storm, Vic worked while the dogs and I napped.  It was a pretty buggy area and I had to pick numerous ticks off the dogs.  The biting flies and mosquitoes made the visit not so pleasant.  

We received our first citation from the rangers for not having the proper Wisconsin Parks and Forests Vehicle pass which we quickly purchased at our next Wisconsin State park at Willow River State Park.  Here, we had beautiful days of hiking through the woods and along the River.  The Willow River Falls did not disappoint.

On our walk around the lake, I see this fox off in the distance!   

Only to discover he’s a decoy to keep the geese off the beach

 

 

I’m a happy campin’ dog!

Vic finishes Chapter 2!

 Halfway through our week here, I leave Vic and the pups at the state park and fly out of Minneapolis airport to meet up with family in South Carolina for my niece’s wedding. 

Vic and the dogs pick me up at the airport.  Had to take the camper off the truck so we’d fit in the passenger drop off/pick up lanes. (We learned the hard way in past airport RV passenger pick ups, that’s not the easiest thing to do…)

We are all happy to be back together again!

After a quick camper clean up, laundry done at local laundromat, we put the “back pack” back on the truck and say “See ya, Wisconsin!” and start heading up into Minnesota.
