Wisconsin is America's dairyland. At least that's what it says on their license plates. It is also known as "The Badger State." The state motto is "Forward!" I like.
Besides a change in the dominant tree species from deciduous to coniferous (specifically Jack Pine), Wisconsin sure looked a lot like Michigan. In case you were wondering, both states are flat with lots and lots of farms and white people.
We drove through snow squalls and intermittent rains all day, as the temperature hovered around freezing. The snow did not amount to much, but there was evidence of past storms requiring snowplows.
Just like in the Upper Peninsula, we had a tough time finding state parks to camp. Salvation came when we reached the large and lovely Lake Wissota State Park.
Norbie lent a hand in shelter building. What a great guy!

We struck up conversation with a trucker just outside of Minnesota, and now we're here in St. Paul, using Macalester College's library and posing (pretty convincingly, I'd say) as Macalester College students. Tally ho!
