Day 30 - Made it to Independence

We spent the night at the Walmart in Dodgeville, very quiet and we had a neighbor.

We headed out to Prairie Du Chien.  We stopped and walked around Blackwater Ave, a lot of beautiful old buildings.

From there we crossed the Mississippi River and visited the Casino Queen in Marquette, Iowa.  That turned out pretty good for us, we put $20 in a Sizzling 7 $1 machine, had a couple of small wins.  We slowly went down to$4, playing$2 a spin, and the next spin had three red 7's that paid $150!

We cashed out and headed to the buffet.  After paying for the buffet we left with $98 more in our pocket than we we arrived.

Our next stop was Elkader, Iowa just to check out the bridge there and some of the buildings.  The bridge was really interesting, it is a twin arch keystone bridge, it's also the longest key stone west of the Mississippi River.

Passing through Strawberry Point we took a few photos, more beautiful buildings.

Made it to Independence, IA just before sunset.

Day 29 - Made it to Dodgeville

We spent the night at the Cracker Barrel in Wisconsin Dells.

We had a great time in Wisconsin Dells!  We took a tour on one of the boats, a slow one on the upper side.  The rock formations were amazing.

I will update later with more photos.

We headed out and stopped at Taliesin but got there too late to tour it.  We took just s few outside photos.

Next, we happened across the town of Spring Green.  We discovered several buildings here had a Frank Lloyd Wright influence and enjoyed taking snapshots of some of them.  And what a friendly town, tonight was Locals Night - The Shed.  There was music, a crooner with a crooner microphone.  And food and drink.  All this happening in the prettiest downtown park.  We had a very pleasant time meeting and talking with some friendly locals!

Day 28 - Made it to Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

We spent the night at the Cabela's in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

We stopped the Mouse House Cheese Haus and bought some cheese curds.

Next stop was Fleet Farm for some fog food and diesel fuel.

Day 27 Made it to Sun Prairie, WI

We spent the night at the Walmart in Shawano.

We got on the road and stopped at the North Star Mohican casino.  That has been our best casino stop this trip so far!

First, they offer a free dump station for RVers.

They give new members $10 free play, seniors $10 free play and $10 free play for your birthday.  Together we had $50 free play!

We played that money and cashed out with right at $160, it was nice.

We then went to the buffet, they had a senior buffet that day for $9.95 that was also a nice meal.

After eating I headed out to the RV to check on Spike and left Debra while she finished her meal.  The AC was on and it was 71 degrees in the RV , so Spike was great.  Debra got back to the RV and said she stopped by the Kronos machine again and put in $6 and cashed out with $39!

We stopped and filled out fuel tank and got on the road.  We pulled into the Cabela's in Sun Prairie for the night.  Had a pretty good rain during the night.

Day 26 - WWII Glider and Military Museum and the Cornish Steam Pump

We spent the night at the Walmart in Iron Mountain, MI.

We visited the WWII Glider and Military Museum and the Cornish Steam Pump Museum.  Both were very interesting, the pump was unbelievable in the size and volume of the water it could pump.  Up to five million gallons of water a day!

Point Iroquois Lighthouse - Brimley, MI

This is a beautiful old light house!  They have the the place where the keeper's family set up with period furnishings.  You can even climb the lighthouse if you want to.

I will add more photos later.

Day 25 - Lakenenland

We spent the night at the Kewadin casino in Christmas, MI.  They have a nice little set up for RVs, they offer free overnight parking with electric hookups!

The last several days I have not had and data coverage, hardly any cell phone coverage.  I will have to catch up on where we have been, so my time line will be out of order for a bit.

We saw a sign to visit Lakenenland, it was a unique walk or drive path of unique metal sculptures.
