DeForest, WI


 After one more trip to La Crosse, WI to walk along the Mississippi River and one more bicycle ride on the Elroy-Sparta State Trail from Sparta eastward to the first tunnel & return, we made the short trip over to Deforest, WI on Monday.

Our exploring has just started.  Since arriving, we've bicycled the Southwest & Cannonball Bicycle Trails and took a tour of the Olbrich Botanical Gardens.  Top picture is of the Wisconsin State Capitol from the Lake Loop Trail.  Picture to the right is from the deck of the Dawley Conservancy Bicycle Hub.

Yesterday, we visited the Olbrich Botanical Gardens.  It was Butterfly Blooming Season at the gardens, so the place was pretty crowded as folks came to see the butterfly exhibits.  Nice place to visit, and we'll probably go back when it's not so crowded.  And take a better camera!

The pictures to the right and below are from the gardens; the last one of a local resident located along the garden's parking lot exit.

Today's been a rest and wait-out-the-rain day.  There's more bicycle trails to ride and many places to visit, so I think we can stay busy for our stay.  At least we plan to stay busy!

That's been our week.  Hope you enjoy the pictures of the gardens.  Until next week, David
