After leaving Iowa, I headed back towards central Wisconsin. My initial thought was to hit up Devils Lake, but after finding swarms of people & lack of camping I decided this was a bad idea for my spontaneous agenda. Drove around for a while searching for smaller lesser-known areas but my cell service cut out … Read more
Next stop on my freestyle adventure was Wyalusing State Park in Bagley, WI. Located in the far southwestern corner of the state, this location is unique as it overlooks the confluence of the Wisconsin River into the Mississippi River. The state of Iowa is also visible from the bluffs. Weather was still very grey and … Read more
For the long Memorial Weekend, I set out to explore some local state parks, natural areas, and monuments. I originally intended to leave Friday after work, but heavy rains changed my plans. Instead, I woke early and started driving with no idea on the first destination other than a general direction of southwest Wisconsin. I checked … Read more
This past weekend, the weather finally graced us with temps around 70, sunny skies, and dry grounds. Took a day trip up to Kettle Moraine State Forest—Southern Unit for some much needed hiking. On the suggestion of a park ranger, decided to try the Nordic trails because they are less busy with mountain bikers today. I did … Read more
Was bored this morning and it has been the first good weather of the year. Decided to try photographing the sunrise. Clear skies turned a bit cloudy over the lake and the colors were a bit muted, but still happy to sit on the beach and not freeze my arse off. Spring seems to finally … Read more
Back home in Kenosha, WI and the adventure has come to a finish for now. Unpacked the car and now time to rest. Further unpacking and cleaning for tomorrow. Thanks to my family for everything on this trip, all the great people I met on the road, and the National Park Service and staff for … Read more

Long day of driving ahead with Sioux Falls as today’s end point. Author’s note: I am revisiting old posts from my 2016 road trip because I posted all of … Read more
Visited the historic Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI with my cousin Bryce, Uncle Bob, and Aunt Theresa. Apparently they don’t let you walk on the grass, but we did get within inches of doing so – very cool considering players like Roders, Favre, White, Starr, Nitschke, etc. all played the game. We also visited … Read more
Back in December of 2013 during normal Christmas festivities, my Aunt Phyllis said “These presents are great everyone, but you know what would be better? A Packers game!” We were used to hearing the same thing every year, and rolling our eyes in response. However this year would be different I told myself. So during … Read more
Sharing old concert photos that I found on an old hard drive. Bright Eyes at The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I don’t recall exact details, but I believe this only happened because someone else backed out last minute and I took their spot. My friend who organized the trip chartered a limo (first limo … Read more
