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
Florence, Wisconsin is packed full of waterfalls and rapids. From Big Bull Falls in my previous post I drove to the next river over and found 2 more in the same area. The first of these is Meyers Falls. From the small parking area, you only have to walk down a small hill maybe a … Read more
Continuing my waterfall quest in NE Wisconsin. Much of this part of the journey involved gravel and dirt roads in the Fern/Fence townships south of Florence. 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.

Headed out to Deming for lunch with Dad at Irma’s Restaurant which has some dynamite food (best chicken gorditas anywhere). Plan for the day was to check out the … Read more

Lucky for me I was passing right by Chamizal National Memorial. This site commemorates the peaceful settlement of the Chamizal boundary dispute, … Read more
