Enough of watching a lazy river roll by; enough of swatting bugs; enough. On to Wisconsin.
Wisconsin--truly America's Dairy Land. There are cows everywhere but that also means dairy and that means artisan cheeses. Like everywhere.
And there are bike trails and bikes everywhere. Miles of rails to trail conversions; city bike thoroughfares (one in Madison features a 7 story bike elevator to get up a "cliff").
So we set up Bessie in a county park across the lake from Madison and rode our bikes and ate artisan cheese. For a couple of days!
Too bad the winters in Wisconsin give real meaning to word FROZEN.

| Badger State Bike path rolls south of Madison for miles -- farms, meadows, marshes. |
 |
| Free Range Cattle about to bust off the farm! |
 |
| Barn Quilt |
 |
| Even the boats go in Dairy mode....note the fun pink udder (I mean rudder) |
 |
| How many sandhill cranes can you see? |
 |
Lunch stop. One day on the trail there was a fun race:
teams of 12 were running round the clock from Madison, WI to Chicago, Il. Yeah, a fun race. |

| Lovely stone work on barn |
