June 9, 2010

Greetings fron Hudson, WS right at the western border of WS & Minnesota. Despite some rain we explored Chicago on the Honda, tried to get to US Cellular Field but not situated where we could get to it, but saw Soldier Field. When we arrived at Sears Tower it began to rain hard so given the poor visibility we didn't go up the Tower but took pics from the grounds..then it was over to Wrigley Field (it stopped raining) and the park is charming as well as amazing given it's age. Then it was time to pack up & head toward WS, stopping in Beloit for restocking. Saw alot of those wind farms up close along the way..
Next day it was off to Wisconsin Dells, WS a scenic river and resort town with much to offer the tourist. Wisc Dells IS THE WATERPARK CAPITOL OF THE WORLD! Noah's Ark (the largest) to Mt Olympus they got a park for everyone. We boarded a tour boat & cruised the Upper Dells, a particularly scenic geographical locale..Next day we walked the 1/4 mi Riverwalk and thru downtown to see the markets and attractions, and bought our Wisc cheese. For lunch it was Dave's BBQ (very good) then we went in the cheesy Haunted Ghost Mansion ($5 ea) before boarding the 2nd half of boat tour on the Lower Dells. Not quite as good as Upper, but still a nice stretch of the Wisc River! After taking more pix of downtown we called it a day & went back to camp.
The next day it rained so we broke camp & headed out toward St Paul, MN. As the motorhome started to run poorly we stopped for the day at Walmart in Eau Claire, WS.
Cheers,
Dr Duke
