Day 4: Blue Mound State Park, Wisconsin


And the rain continues….

There was steady rain and much thunder all night Wednesday, and we awoke to a soaking wet campsite.  It was a good morning to lounge around and read, have a big breakfast, and listen to the rain on the roof.

There was a break in the weather around noon, so we were able to get Ranger (and us) out for a bit of exercise.  We walked up the park road to the top of the “mound” where we were able to climb an observation tower that provided a view for miles around. In better weather it would have made a great picture!   A trail through the woods brought us back to the campsite where we were able to enjoy our recliners outside for a few hours of reading before all the Dorgans arrived for another visit.  It was too wet to sit at the picnic table so we all stood around for awhile, then headed into Mount Horeb for dinner at the Grumpy Troll Brewery and Restaurant.  By this time, the sky was black with an approaching storm, but fortunately it resulted in just more rain, no high winds or hail.


Early to bed, with another drive tomorrow, and again we listened to a steady drumming on the roof as we fell asleep.
