Driftless Wisconsin


















































The next morning we travelled down the Mississippi River a bit then headed east on small roads in the valleys across southwest Wisconsin. Heading in we didn't know what to expect for a landscape and were pleasantly surprised by how spectacular it was, doing some research later we lerned that the region is called the "Driftless Area" due to the lack of glacial remodeling. We stopped in Mt. Sterling and it being Wisconsin and all we bought some cheese. Not any cheese though... goat cheese but in familiar varieties like Cheddar and Jack. Continuing on, we made a quick stop in the town of Gays Mills, the apple capital of the state fro a photo opp. Eventually we ended up in Spring Green home to Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliessin where we did not take a tour, and House on the Rock which is impossible to describe but an amazing place that is worth spending several hours at if you are in the area. That night we camped at Rock Cut State Park about an hour south of Madison where we were visited by several turkeys early the next morning.
