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 in the Dells of the Wisconsin River are pretty amazing. Lots of rare features that … Read more

Tigers Jaw closed the show. They are good but not quite my style (emo/pop punk). Right in the middle was mewithoutYou. Sorry my photos … Read more
