First stop on the morning of the 26th was another coin-flip chance at a waterfall located at Lake Redstone in LaValle, Wisconsin. Absolutely zero people were here on arrival around 8am and the lake was mirror still. A large flat […]
After failing to see the falls from our earlier hike I wasn’t going to be defeated. Today was perfect weather for a boat ride so we hopped on the Dells Boat Tour for a 2 hour trip. Cliff views here […]
