Even in dreary, overcast weather, Wisconsin’s north woods are so beautiful. It’s scenes like this that keep me coming back year after year. Gilmore Creek in Oneida County.

The Wild Goose Trail
I spent yesterday afternoon in the country, biking about 30 miles on the Wild Goose State Trail.
On the banks of the Starkweather Creek
It finally feels like Spring in Madison.
Wherefore art thou Spring?
Oh Spring, Spring! Wherefore art thou Spring?
This is not the kind of evening commute I expect in southern Wisconsin on April 18.
Springtime in January
I hiked through Lewis Nine Springs E-Way and above average temperatures today. With the warmth and the sunshine it felt like springtime in January. It sure has been a strange winter so far.

History on the Bearskin Trail
With its gorgeous views of northern Wisconsin, and easy biking, there is a lot to love about the Bearskin State Trail. What I love the most however, is the wonderful history that looms over the trail. It was built on a former Milwaukee Road rail bed (and 13 trestles). As you enter at the trail head in Minocqua and cross the trestle over Lake Minocqua, it’s easy to get thrown back in time.
Another visit to the Black Lagoon
I spend last week camping in northern Wisconsin, where I made my annual summer pilgrimage to the Black Lagoon on the Star Lake Nature Trail. As I’ve said before, this is my favorite view in all of Wisconsin. The thought that entered my mind when I was there this time was, I’ll bet it looks just as amazing in the winter. Someday, I’ll have to see for myself.
Where the Wisconsin & Mississippi Rivers meet
I spent most of this week camping at Wisconsin’s Wyalusing State Park, located on the bluffs above the meeting point of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers.
