Quick stop in Upson, Wisconsin to check out some possible new features. Parking on the shoulder where Hwy 77 meets the Tyler Forks River, I launched the drone to do some exploration. Not far north off the highway is Hwy 77 Rapids, a small single chute-type drop. Right now it’s rather unspectacular, but notice the … Read more
Weather forecast today was an unseasonably warm 80 degrees and I wanted a nice spot for lunch with some shade. It just so happened I was near Upson Community Park and today being a weekday meant it was completely deserted. I previously visited in July 2019 but sunlight was harsh that day, so this also … Read more
Last day of September 2021 and I’m starting off by returning to Superior Falls for things I missed in the past. Back in 2018 I explored from the bottom which also gives great views along Lake Superior (you can see that trip by clicking here). Today’s task was seeing the falls from above. I completely … Read more
Late in the afternoon I was having trouble deciding my next stop. While looking for a campsite along US-2, I stumbled upon a road sign pointing towards Yondata Falls on the Michigan U.P. side. I didn’t even have the place on my list and figured it’s worth a look. Boy was I in for a … Read more
Another day in Wisconsin’s north woods and it’s a good one. Made my way up to Florence County in search of Jennnings Falls which I somehow overlooked on previous trips. The sun is shining, temperatures are perfect, and the leaves here are turning some fantastic colors. Let’s hit the trail. Access to the falls from … Read more
I was getting a bit burned out from moving between sites quickly, and so this afternoon I decided to slow it down a bit and give myself time to take in the scenery with a bit more leisure. There was one particular spot I had in mind where I missed an easily accessible falls back … Read more
Made a quick stop in Pembine, Wisconsin where Crain Lane intersects underneath the US 8 / US 141 overpass to check out a small waterfall that is only legally accessible from the sky. Plenty of room to park on the road shoulder here but make sure you are all the way off the road, it’s … Read more
Apparently I chose to punish myself today with difficult and uncertain hikes along the North Branch Pike River. At least for this trip I know a waterfall exists. From my last stop at Road 517 I went north to the next easternly road with no name and parked in the pullout area. Be aware this … Read more
Keeping with the South Branch Pike River I took a long drive through the Marinette County Forest in search of some hard to reach falls. I parked at the far north terminus of FR218 and parked in the pullout. The road forked from here but was too narrow for my liking to take the truck … Read more
One great thing about Marinette County is there are no shortages of outdoors adventures you can have, and it seems like there are more rivers winding through the forests than you could explore in a lifetime. Case in point: I’m jumping away from the Peshtigo River and driving up the road a ways to the … Read more
