Default TR: The Driftless Area of Wisconsin

I hit it in the toughest time of the year. Streams were full due to
heavy rains (all are spring creeks) and the mosquitoes were the worst
in 30 years. Never the less, I will be back.


The mosquitoes usually begin to taper off in August but this
year has been weird wet in Wisconsin. That's actually a good
thing, the northern part of the state has been in a drought
for the last several years.

Mr. Knight called before he passed through Chambana on his
way from Indy to Wisconsin. I had to take a pass this time
to attend my sister's wedding reception in St. Louis. Sounds
like I missed an "interesting" trip. Seems like a lot of my
trips have been "interesting". ;-)

Nice TR, I'm glad you had the chance to poke around up there
and wet a line. You've added one more destination to the
Nebraska short list !
