Bicycle Tour - "Northern Woods and Lakes"


We were in the farthest northern part of Wisconsin - Land o' Lakes, Eagle River, St. Germain, etc.

Loved it all!  Beautiful, fragrant forests; lakes, fun people, good food. Beautiful scenery. Bicycling on nice trails.  Sunshine.










         We met some lovely new friends.



By coincidence, it turned out that both of these women are physicians.  



This was farther south, in Madison, Wisconsin, on August 18.

On the way home, we visited New Glarus (also called Little Switzerland) and some other really fun places, including Galena, Ill.  Lots of history there.

And, since we were not all too far away, and we really didn't want to go home yet, we stopped off in one other place, and camped in 'our' campground.
It's becoming a summer tradition.




          Taking my bike for a leisurely ride around peaceful Old Nauvoo. What could be more fun.


       In addition, someone special had an important birthday, and it was a very happy day  /  week -


The actual birthday was on August 18 in Wisconsin, and I baked the cake later when we were back  home.
