Black Friday shopping madness? Nope! Once again I decided to #optoutside and burn off the turkey and pie. This year’s hike was part of an event hosted by the Ice Age Trail Alliance at the Kettle Moraine State Forest – […]
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 – […]
Part 2 of my visit to Rock Island State Park. You can view Part 1 here and Part 3 will be coming soon. Buckle up, this is a long post but worth it (in my opinion). Here we go! (Don’t […]
