Wisconsin River---another boat ride

Before we left the Wisconsin Dells, we decided to take another boatride to check out the landscape that gave the Dells their name.
A photographer named Henry Hamilton Burnell, loved the Dells so much that he bought up the land on either side of the Wisconsin River. He then replanted trees and did all he could to transform the land back to the way it was before the logging took place. When he died the land went to the state.



Our tour boat stopped at one point for us to get off and walk among the monumental limestone formations.


My beloved takes a minute to confer with this colorful Captain. He is such a good sport.
Well the Happy Travelers will be moving on to Minnesota so more later from your very Happy Travelers.

  1. I guess Ron needed one of Dad's pipes to fit in.

    Beautiful countryside-- and it looks so cool and comfortable. Not a way that I would describe Virginia this summer.
