Newport State Park
Two days of driving, camping and hiking have brought me from the farthest western point in Wisconsin to the farthest eastern point. Home for tonight is Newport State Park in the Door Peninsula. Now why in the world would I […]

Straight Lake State Park
Another detour on the way back to my campsite was to check out Straight Lake State Park. As Wisconsin’s newest park (founded in 2002), it’s still relatively primitive which typically means less people & less disturbed nature. I decided to […]
