Sunday: July 15

Drove 332 Miles

We woke up early, had breakfast, packed up the trailer and were on the road in record time – 1 ½ hours. Well, it’s a record for us. What can I tell you?

We started out driving west on Hwy 2 across the rest of the Upper Peninsula. Then began a long day driving south down Highway 41 on the western side of Lake Michigan, then west on Hwy 21 to I39. We were only on the interstate for a short time, then exited onto Hwy 22 which we took to county road “G” then onto Hwy 23 and into Wisconsin Dells, WI.

As we left the Upper Peninsula we waited until we crossed into WI to fill up the gas tank, hoping that we would find cheaper prices. It’s been $3.49 per gallon every since we got into MI. We found WI to be not much better at $3.39. Oh well. Not much we can do about that.

We had reservations at a KOA Campground in The Dells and had no trouble finding it, nor in setting up the trailer. Other than being next to an active railroad track (we even saw Amtrak Trains), it was a very nice site. The shower felt heavenly after a long day on the road.

After getting all spiffed up, we went into town to explore. Wisconsin Dells is kind of like the Pigeon Forge of WI. We found a nice restaurant on the Riverwalk called…The Riverwalk Restaurant (original huh?) and sat outside at a table overlooking the Wisconsin river. It was a nice relaxing evening.
