We left Denise's about 9:30 AM headed for Bagley Wisconsin. We planned to stay on the back roads rather than take I-90. The roads started out pretty rough but got better as we went further west. With the sun out and beautiful countryside it was a really nice ride.One of the things that surprised us is just how much farmland is under cultivation and how beautiful the farms are kept up. From the time we hit Virginia, up through Maryland and Pensylvania, across Michigan and Wisconsin there are miles and miles of farmland interspersed with small towns and communities. What is really amazing is how everything is so green. In some places, with new shhots coming up it's like an emerald green carpet stretching away as far as you can see.
We finally pulled into Wyalusing State Park overlooking the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers. While I went in and registered, Tina took som photos of hummingbirds clustered around the feeders at the ranger station. We got set up in our campsite then took the dogs for a walk. There were lots of kids in the sites next to us and the dogs got lots of attention!We went to bed about 10:30 PM. Around 1:00 AM it began to rain, then it really rained, then it thunderstormed!! This drove poor Wicket nuts as the storm was right over us.
By 5:00 AM it was all over and the sun started to come out and warm things up - including the mosquitos. Turns out Tina was their favorite treat!
