So we left Illinois for Wisconsin last week and spent a few nights in Chippewa Falls. We went to a state park on Lake Wissota and cooled off with a tour and a taste at the Leinenkugel Brewery. Tour was hot but the beer was ice cold.

It was hard leaving all that great beer behind, but we since traveled up to Superior, WI. That is as far NW as you can go in Wisconsin. We spent a day in Minnesota north of Duluth seeing several lighthouses up along the coast to Two Harbors. As a bonus, I got to see a steam locomotive. It was once used to haul iron ore.
