For this year’s Wisconsin spring turkey hunting season I drew a tag for period C in the southwest zone 1 region. I was behind in preparation and only had the weekend so I figured to go where I already have some knowledge. Headed to Governor Dodge State Park in Dodgeville, Wisconsin which also allowed me … Read more
Quick stop on my way home from “up north” at Regner Park in West Bend, Wisconsin to see if I can find some small rapids. I parked on Silverbrook Drive and walking just past the baseball diamonds it’s not difficult to find. Sadly though the rapids are all but gone due to low water levels … Read more
My final stop before reaching the Gila Wilderness was at Capulin Volcano National Monument, a large extinct cinder cone volcano that you can drive up to in Capulin, New Mexico. My only mistake was stopping at the entrance sign to get these two photos. Trucks for scale. See that red truck in the first image? … Read more
My afternoon was mostly a failure but still got to enjoy some cool scenery. Second and final stop was at the Carney Springs Trailhead for a failed attempt at hiking to the Wave Cave in Gold Canyon, Arizona. The drive to get here is down well maintained dirt roads and weather looked good all the … Read more
Attempted and failed to locate Trout Falls. Guides said it is nearby or within Fort McCoy. I stopped & asked permission at the Pine View Campground and they directed me to the dam at the south end of Squaw Lake. Sadly all I found at Squaw Creek was a small little row of rocks and … Read more
![Polly Falls [FAILED]](https://i0.wp.com/adammartin.space/wp-content/uploads/20190711-PollyFallsFail-01.jpg?fit=1600%2C1067&ssl=1)
Purposely failed vising Polly Falls in the Black River Falls, WI area just to see what I could find. As I suspected everything is posted “private property” and there is no formal public access available. Maps confirm there is no public access other than by Robinson Creek or maybe Stony Creek which would require wading, … Read more
Visited Glen Park in River Falls, Wisconsin to attempt seeing Boy Scout Falls that I missed on my first visit. Unfortunately the park was under renovations that wouldn’t be completed until fall 2019. Everything was fenced off and lots of heavy machinery was being operated so I didn’t want to cause any trouble. Will stop … Read more

Attempted Tyler Forks Dells Falls but failed with a capital F. I did reach the parking area at the end of Moore Park Road but from there it kind of sputtered out. Bushwhacking looked like one heck of a chore in July’s dense brush. Temps were still around 90°F today and none of this looked … Read more

Intentionally failed visiting Rock Cut Falls in Hurley, Wisconsin because I was in the area & wanted to confirm via boots on the ground . Everything is posted “Private Property” and there is no longer public access. Previously you could access Rock Cut Falls & Rapids via the Iron Horse trail but this is now … Read more
Happy Independence Day! Started off with a bang attempting a falls I missed in the past…only to find out now (March 2020) that I once again missed my target. Not all is lost – I did find some very cool scenery! Willard Falls [Fail] Willard Falls is located directly upstream from Potato River Falls upper … Read more
