Photo Blog with Waterfalls, Hiking, Outdoors, and other Adventures
Temperatures were colder than expected last night. I had no issue waking early and breaking down camp to get my adventures started. First stop was at Veterans Memorial Park near Crivitz, Wisconsin to see 3 falls in one single park. TONS of wild turkeys in Marinette county. This group was right on the entrance road … Read more
One last waterfall before the sun sets today. Just off Hwy 8 in the town of Pembine, Wisconsin you can find Kremlin Falls. This one is pretty obscure but worth the visit. The falls stretch over quite a distance – maybe 100 yards or so – with the largest single drop right at the top … Read more
Today’s main attraction is a 2-for-1 waterfall experience at the Menominee River State Recreation Area (also called Piers Gorge) from the Norway, Michigan side. The river separates Wisconsin and Michigan‘s Upper Peninsula, and while you can access from the Wisconsin side it is much more difficult with obstructed views. Enough with the words – let’s … Read more
From the parking area at Meyers Falls the trail forks. Taking the other path leads to Bull Falls. This isn’t your typical falls that has a sudden drop – instead it rambles over 100-200 yards. Overall drop is something like 15 feet. Water levels appear very high, photos I have found online often show more … Read more

Passed through swarms of wild turkeys – of course this only ever happens when I’m not trying to hunt. Big Bull Falls is my next target. From the parking … Read more
Just a short drive upstream from McClintock Falls on the Peshtigo River is another amazing waterfall called Strong Falls. Access is extremely easy via Goodman Park – drive up the gravel entrance road, park in one of several small parking lots, and walk through the grass park to the falls. If you are interested in … Read more
Last night at Gov. Thompson SP was colder & wetter than expected, had to sleep in the car for a bit to stay warm. On the bright side I was wide awake at sunrise and ready for adventure. First stop was McClintock Park in Marinette County in search of McClintock Falls. Several large wooden arch foot … Read more
Northern Wisconsin fall colors were calling my name. It has been too long since my last camping trip and I aimed to remedy that. Aided by a long 3-day weekend I packed the car and headed for the forests. Quick pitstop on the way at Titletown Brewing Company in Green Bay for an elk burger … Read more
Last Day in New Mexico for this trip. 9/22 is National Public Lands Day meaning it was time to get outside and stretch my legs. No better place than the Organ Mountains right in Las Cruces just miles from the house. My mom Sue wanted to see Dripping Springs and hit the trails with me. … Read more
