Illinois, Wisconsin & Minnesota



Made it to Illinois in time to watch my nephew's football game, first time I've been to a High School game since I was in HS!  He is an amazing player, unfortunately they lost the game against their rivals.

Unfortunately we were not thinking and didn't take any pictures of my sister, her daughter or her husband!  Thought of this after we were hours away from them, oh well we were having so much fun and completely enjoyed our time together. 

Hit Wisconsin and found a wonderful place to stay in Baraboo!  Decided to stay two days here so that we could explore Devil's Lake State Park.  We really wanted to put the kayak in the lake but between the high winds and our exhausting hike it never happened.


Balancing Rock, kinda amazing it doesn't fall!

Our hiking trail is hidden in these rocks

Taking a break at the top of our hike.

Thought this rock was pretty cool, cracked all the way through and still stays in place

This is elephant rock...looked more like a buffalo to us!

Trey trying to tumble elephant rock down the mountain!

Wonder what lives in here?

Prospect point, on our second mountain hike of the day.

Beautiful fall trees on our road trip out of Wisconsin!

From here we are headed to Minnesota to see Maureen!  It is so wonderful seeing friends along this journey of ours.  Thank you Maureen & Kevin for a wonderful night out!  Maureen good luck on your training for your next marathon..
