In addition to my previous posts on the Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park and the Bird Cage Theatre, here are some other sights & attractions that can be found in Tombstone’s Historic District (around Allen and Toughnut Streets). Wild West Street Scenes If you drift into a strange western town on a rainy, cloudy, early … Read more
Spent the night in Sierra Vista, Arizona hanging out with my Dad who was on his own mini motorcycle vacation. Headed out in the morning with intention of visiting Coronado National Monument but it was windy, drizzling, and threatening rain all morning. Instead I decided to spend most of the day driving east-northeast. Passed through … 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
More intermittent rain today but not enough precipitation to stop my plans. Next up was some hiking at Kinnikinnic State Park in River Falls, Wisconsin. To be honest I didn’t know much about this park before visiting but afterwards it’s easy to see why it’s a special place. From the far west parking area I … Read more
Another quick stop in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin at Duncan Creek Rapids. This one is very easy to access right from the bridge on Columbia Street just off WI-124. The downstream views aren’t very exciting but there are smaller riffles for quite some distance. Upstream of the bridge is the real feature – several substantial rapids … Read more
Morning of the 5th now and it’s another rainy day but I’m not stopping. Next attempt is at Second & Third Trestle Falls in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest just south of Mellen, Wisconsin. Lots of smaller rapids along the Bad River in this location. Access is very difficult and I am not providing details – … 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
Rain has been on & off all day but that won’t stop the waterfall train a rollin’. Next stop is at Dave’s Falls County Park – a place I hadn’t researched much and wasn’t sure what to expect. A memorial tombstone is just off the parking lot. Appears the park is named for Dave Frechette, … Read more
Bull Falls in Amberg, Wisconsin is yet another amazing sight to behold in Marinette County. The trail to the falls is almost unrecognizable in the overgrown grass and brush, but following a path to the left of huge power poles will get you there. Views upstream of the falls at a distance are surprisingly mild. … Read more
