Driving in and around the tri-state area is a feast for the eyes. Although you won’t be ogling towering mountains here, the rolling hills filled with farmland and dairies offers a scenery only the heartland of Amerian can provide.

Our slow southern migration continued to our next stop at Kieler, Wisconsin, which just happens to lie at the junction of three states – Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa. We established our one-week home base at Rustic Barn Campground and RV Park (Steve’s review here).

While planning our drive from Egg Harbor in Door County to Baraboo, Wisconsin, I noticed that it was a bit … More A quick stop for hubby at Oshkosh, Wisconsin
My “editor-in-chief” (Steve) was not very enthusiastic when he learned this post is mostly about mushrooms. He pointed out that I had initially overlooked some interesting things we did other than viewing mushrooms. Well, I have included a couple of experiences we had during our stay in Door County, but I must admit to being so enthralled … More Gnats, Range Lights and Mushrooms – Door County, WI
While driving out of Michigan and heading into Wisconsin, we realized that we were leaving the eastern time zone for the last time, and that we’ve been through all six of North America’s time zones (Alaskan, Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern and Atlantic) during our travels. We’ve stayed at places where crossing timezones was a daily occurrence, … More Off the beaten path – Door County, Wisconsin has it all!
