From Perrot State Park to Oshkosh Wisconsin
I left the small town of Tempealeau and its really nice state park on the Mississippi River and headed east once more for Lake Michigan. The plan is to follow the west side of the lake northward and then swing across the northern part of Lake Michigan and then south to Detroit. Well that is the plan anyway.
The topography again changed today to one of hills. Not real steep hills but the valleys are not what you would find say in SD where the hills are low and very gradual with long valleys that were very wide. These are the eastern type of hills where they are quite frequent and not the long grades that are in the Midwest. The foliage also hca changed to a mixture of birch and elm and ash trees mixed now with evergreen. Now you no longer see trees just around the farmhouses and cities but sections of trees that are grown commercially for their wood.
Also I am now in Amish country and cheese country so that you see signs to watch out for buggies and signs everywhere to stop and taste and buy cheese.
I stopped in Omra before proceeding just down the road to Oshgosh because there was a sign for internet. Hopefully I will be able to post this here before mooooovin on.
I left the interstate today for those of you following on a map. I had been on Hwy 90 but left it to take a more leisurely route eastward on Hwy 21 from Tomah, Wisconsin.
This weekend for those of you who are uninformed is the 105 th anniversary of the Harley motorcycle and they are planning the big celebration in Milwaukee. They expect to have 1 million riders there and I see some of them on the road heading that way. I think I will pass the celebration and head north.
I should also be passing thru Winnebago, Wisconsin soon, the home where the RV in America truly was made known. This may be worth a stop just to see what is there.
