Rodeway Inn Wisconsin Dells

... final this weekend and hopefully a meat pie, all this footy is making us a little homesick. We&#8217;ve really enjoyed our quick glimpse of Wisconsin and are looking forward to heading south to where it is warmer, although we had some pretty great weather in Wisconsin, it only started raining the day we left!<br><br>Love and Peace to you all, the slightly homesick, Bek and Jesse Train.<br><br>

Today we went to the Wisconsin Dells on a Duck ride.<br>These old vehicles were used in World War 2 to land the troops in the Normandy and also in the Vietnam war.<br>As a tourist attraction someone had the idea to take these boats or whatever for tours on and around the Wisconsin River.<br>My mum, step dad, and me enjoied a nice ride through different territories and over the Wisconsin River. Very nice country side.<br><br>Till

... the bikes had to go inside the camper. All this resulted in a stop in Rochester MN, where we found a Verizon dealer who got our card up and running, and to a bike shop for a new, heavy duty bike rack. The old one went into their dumpster. <br><br>The Verizon dealer was great...in MI, every time I go in I wait in line for a salesperson, who may or may not be helpful. In this case, there were 3 salespeople waiting on me. Same deal in the bike shop. The guy took the ...

... as it was a Wyndam owned property, we could sit though a 2 hr presentantion, and we could get the passes for free. We knew of Wyndam and its good reputation, so provided they could entertain the children for that time, we agreed. Really enjoyed the presentation, think they're onto a winner - thought the rooms they showed us were magnificent, but Gary's not a spontaneous person, and they were never going to get a signature from us, on the first ...

... disappointed that we could not find a Diner downtown and had to opt for a local Coffee House instead, even worse, they had no Hash Browns! The one good thing was that we met a couple of lads from Leeds who were travelling East to West across the USA, so we were able to fill them in on all the places Dudes should aim for - in other words, everywhere we had been! They were travelling in an old van and camping along ...

I have always said the worst part about going to China is getting ready to go to China. I am a little bit smarter now and travel very light. This trip I am taking a carry on suitcase and my laptop case. I will most likely check the carry on as I really dont feel like carrying it all the time. Oh and that 3-1-1 ******** that ...

We arrived... got drinks... set up the tents while drinking... pretty happy before 5pm... oh no... no wood for the bonfire... went to gas station.. bought marshmellows, more drinks, snacks, hot dogs... walked out and noticed big pile of firewood... oops... guess we should get some of that too...

... to the shear cliffs that were a haven to many rock climbers who we met along the way. Many were older than us. The rock formations and views here were incredible. We took a boat tour through the Upper Dells where the Wisconsin River winds through sandstone cliffs and rock formations. Over the years, the Wisconsin Dells has become quite the resort town, but we passed up the water parks and mini golf.

... had 6 waterpark areas...3 outdoors and 3 indoors. There was this crazy ride called the hurricane, an indoor wave pool, and many other interesting things I'm never seen before. There were originally only 3 of us, but we were later joined by another 3 who live nearby in Reedsburg. Got some tasty pizza from Moosejaw, and spent the night playing Wii and hanging out. It was a good birthday party. We got a short hour of swimming in this morning and then headed home.

today, we continued along the rails to trails en route to reedsburg as we went end-to-end on the la crosse river trail, the elroy-spara trail, and the 400 trail. by far, the elroy-sparta trail was the coolest of the bunch because there were three old railroad tunnels that we got to walk our bikes through. we knew we were approaching the first tunnel when the trail started going up. the rail route was designed so that it keeps very slight, locomotive-friendly grade (no more than 3% or ...
