Wisconsin
Today we have been traveling on Hwy 2—the same route we left home on almost a month ago. We are impressed with Wisconsin highways, though we have not yet come far. We are impressed with the visitor information centers. We had to stop at this huge and amazing Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center—which was actually a museum with observation tower and nature trail. It is paid for and directed by a group of 7 government agencies. The volunteer I spoke with said he was amazed it ran so smoothly.
Diesel has shot up to $2.99 (from $2.89 in Minnesota). It is still cheaper than gas which is well above $3. We are camped in Bayfield. The plan is to go to Madeline Island tomorrow. When I read about it, I thought it was a place a Guemian should visit. Now I am not so sure. All of you Guemians, stop whinging about ferry costs. It looks like the 10 minute ride to Madeline Island will cost the two of us and bikes (no car) about $30. When I get a chance I will report on whether only rich people live there. Internet hookups are nearly impossible to find on the route we are taking. I hope I can get this one to work.
