Wisconsin

 

We’re headed south.  We crossed out of Michigan at Iron Mountain and back into Wisconsin.  South through Green Bay, Fond du Lac, and Oshkosh.  We’re settled for the night at the Playful Goose RV Park in Horicon.

Judy and I talked about extending our trip and going to Niagara Falls, but Judy read some campground reviews for that area.  They were terrible.  They go into lockdown every night and still stuff get stolen or trashed.  I told her to look at campgrounds on the Canadian side, because they’re so much nicer than we are, and she said that’s where she was already!  We decided to go to Iowa instead.

 

The weather is warmer here in Wisconsin.  We’re back into the mid 80s.

 

We were in Michigan for three days, but we didn’t see very many birds.  Either it’s not very birdy where we were, or most of the migrants have already headed south.
