Beautiful Wisconsin

We got away in good time this morning but we needed to get fuel before long.  We were headed for Madison, WI so we found gas there but it was higher than we wanted to pay so we only put in $100.00 worth rather than fill the tank. 

Back on the road and headed north toward the Wisconsin Dells but the new highway bypasses the most scenic parts and the most interesting attractions like the Tommy Bartlett water show on the Wisconsin River.  We saw the show some years ago and it was very nice. 

We are now just south of Spooner, WI at the Wild Water campground and Back Woods Saloon.  The park is nice but several miles off the beaten path.

I was driving up the interstate and saw a large Doe come running, at full speed, from my right across my two lanes, the median and into the southbound lanes.  There were three cars coming south and the deer, I think, hit the rear portion of the front car.  It was a glancing blow and did not knock her down and she got on across to the other side but the second car was in the process of making some evasive moves to miss the flying deer.  Just a little excitement in a normal day on the road.

Tomorrow it is on to Superior, WI and Duluth, MN and on toward Pennington, Black Duck and Bemidji for the night.
