Yogi Bear & Boo Boo

We looked at that map and picked Baraboo, WI as our next stop.  We need to do laundry and dump and get new water so decided to stay at an RV Park.  Jellystone popped up on our GPS and off we go.  But Yogi and Boo Boo have already gone into hibernation and the park was closed.  I checked out our trusty GPS (alias Margaret) and we ended up at Christmas Mountain.  It has been nice to watch a little TV and get our laundry done.  Tomorrow we will be off to who knows where.

Big Island Rendezvous

Wild Goose Chase Cloggers
 We spent the morning at the Big Island Rendezvous  and it was a lot of fun. Over 1,200 "living history" re-enactors carry on their day-to-day lifestyles, as it would have been done over 200 years ago in the New World. The festival celebrates the history of the fur trade period (1650 - 1840) and early Frontier America (1750-1870) including the Civil War Era and Pioneer Settlement (1840-1865).

Later this afternoon we traveled to Wisconsin and are staying at Perrot State Park, right on the Mississippi River. There is a lot of fall foliage and the weather report said it will be down to 36 degrees in the morning.  BURRRRRR!
