From Wisconsin to Sioux Falls

How windy is Wisconsin? Our drive consisted of us watching one corn field after another blowing from one direction to another. Chad captured some great video of it...I think. We drove mainly on back roads and saw some beautiful farmland, lots of cows and drove through a town called Kickapoo.

We were in Madison for about half an hour, 20 minutes of it spent navigating through - you guessed it - construction.

We spent the night camping next to the Mississippi in Perrot State Park. We saw a beautiful sunset while eating dinner and were also swarmed by mosquitoes when setting up camp.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any Wisconsin cheese. I passed by one shop thinking there'd be plenty more. Well, there was only one more and it was 6 o'clock in small town Wisconsin on a Sunday. Boo.

We drove from Wisconsin this morning to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We were both super exhausted from campground sleeping - we've been spoiled by hotels. We're headed to the Badlands tomorrow.

Oh yeah - there's a T in Michigan. Who knew?

  1. Too bad about the cheese. :( Now I'm going to have the name "Kickapoo" in my head all day.
