Deforest Week 2

Pheasant Branch Conservancy

 We've had an active week since we last posted.  After a day of dodging thunderstorms, we managed to get out on Saturday to the Farmer's Market held each Saturday on the Wisconsin Capitol Square.  On Sunday we met for lunch with Jean and Allen Hilgeman (Folks-On-Spokes, Gulf Shores) at Mullen's Dairy Bar in Watertown, WI.

On Monday we joined Lee and Christine Mitchell for a tour of the Wisconsin State Capitol, ate lunch at The Old Fashioned (most popular restaurant in Wisconsin per Facebook), and took a tour of Wollersheim Winery in Prairie du Sac, WI.

Yep, that's Wisconsin's Capitol

On Tuesday we took off on a walk of Pheasant Branch Conservancy in Middleton, WI.  For Wednesday we drove over to the Glacial Drumlin trail-head in Cottage Grove, WI.  We rode about an hour east and returned for a total of about 20 miles round trip.  Trail conditions are the same as many other trails we've ridden in Wisconsin; generally a shaded trail of pea-sized gravel on a mixture of hard and soft ground.

Today we've taken the day off while avoiding pop-up thunderstorms.  We've made one trip out for some things, and I've got some of the dust off the truck before the thunderstorms started.  Turns out it was a good day to rent and watch Star Wars: Rogue One.

As you can tell, we've had a good time.  Still over a week to go before we leave.  More bicycle riding to do and at least one more visit to the Farmer's Market before we leave is the plan.

So that's our week and plans.  Hope everyone is doing OK.  Thanks for dropping by and checking up on us.  Until next week, David
