While in The Dells area I checked out a couple waterfall spots but many of the water sources feeding smaller falls are dried up right now. Rather than waste my whole day, I headed to Mirror Lake State Park and got my kayak on the water. Main goal was to test out a new PFD … Read more
One of the lesser-known historical sites in our state, Copper Culture State Park is just a short drive north from Green Bay located in Oconto, Wisconsin. This is also one of the smaller state parks but does contain some short hiking trails and a volunteer-staffed museum inside an old farmhouse with relics and information on … Read more
My first full day at Peninsula State Park was starting off just like the previous one ended: rainy, cold, windy, and wet. But the forecast was set to change, so for now it’s time to just meander about exploring what I can. Blossomberg Cemetery I had more time behind the wheel this morning and took … Read more
Had a few surplus vacation days this year and not much time to plan or use them up. Took a couple off for a brief weekend expedition to continue exploring and hiking across Wisconsin’s Door County peninsula. As is customary, I left home very unprepared, stopped and grabbed essential supplies at the store, promptly drove … Read more

The good news is that my new car sleeping system passed with flying colors and now I can push deeper into the seasons without fear of becoming a human popsicle. More good news is that today’s forecast was set to rise into … 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
Spent one quick night camping at Hartman Creek State Park. Mosquitoes were very hungry so I skipped hiking on this trip and instead decided to paddle the small and tranquil Allen Lake. Not much to share other than a short hyperlapse video from the GoPro Hero 7 Black (today was my first day using it … Read more
