Visited a friend in Ashland, Wisconsin for dinner at the Deep Water Grille & South Shore Brewery. He’s a pretty darn good cook, if he says it’s good I trust him. Chicken poutine and a pint of Oktoberfest. Probably the best thing I ate during this whole trip, yum! My buddy also has a silver … Read more
After visiting the beautiful Spring Brook Falls, I traveled just a short distance back up Spring Brook Road and parked in a wide spot on the shoulder. Thanks to my friend Bob at waterfallswisconsin.com I had been given intel of another possible falls/rapids downstream about a mile in a more remote part of the Chequamegon-Nicolet … Read more
After my small detour at the Brunsweiler River, I drove just a bit further up Spring Brook Road, parked at a tiny spot that only fits two vehicles, and made my way through the woods to find Spring Brook Falls. Once upon a time there was a sign post at the trail head but the … Read more
I was having a great time driving through parts of the Nicolet-Chequamegon National Forest and nearing my next destination when I spotted something under a bridge and got sidetracked. The warm temperatures meant I had the windows down for fresh air, and as I crossed a bridge it struck me immediately: “I hear moving water!” … Read more

Today we start with a teeny tiny “falls” found via hiking a nice gentle section of the North Country National Scenic Trail in Foster Junction, Wisconsin. The trail starts just off Kornstead and North York Road and … Read more

Sharing everything in one post for lack of a better place to put these odds & ends. First step to visiting the island is actually getting there via the ferry that … Read more
Bit of a late start this morning (had to move campsites, was the only way I could get a last minute reservation) but sometime around 10am I was on the trail. Agenda for the morning was to hike Bay View and Point Trails looping back to the campground. I started from camp towards the Bay … Read more
Shifting gears during the midpoint of this road trip and floating my car & camping gear to Big Bay State Park on Madeline Island. I was getting cranky from all the driving so my first action item was to stretch out my legs and hike the Boardwalk Trail. Originally I was going to make a … Read more
Home base for the past couple of days has been Copper Falls State Park. I skipped them on this trip in favor of other destinations (see old posts here, don’t skip these if you’ve never visited before) but the weather did give me an opportunity for some fantastic night photography. Clear Sky Charts confirm this … Read more
One of the most popular destinations in the entire state (and for good reason) is a 2-for-1 waterfall and panoramic view found at Morgan Falls & St. Peter’s Dome. I stopped here last year but it was still closed due to storm damage – this year everything has been restored. Several new wooden bridges at … Read more
