    we rode the trail again this morning. weekdays are way better for population. 1.5 hours with lots of birds chirping. Maybe the people in Milwaukee were especially dumb! everyone did the iodine/baby oil thing even though it didnt do anything. I used to work on getting a tan but it...

    cathy iodine is a brownish color so it might stain your skin a little. i dont remember if it washed off immediately or not. it definitely wasn't a tan!. this was very popular in Milwaukee in about 1960. we also had Coppertone, Sea and Ski and I'm sure others but none actually had a...

    We did a walk/hike at the state park near here this morning, for 1 hr 23 minutes. it was lovely out and not that busy. school is still going most places here so then things will pick up. Saw a bald eagle up close and lots of smaller birds flitting around. its a very odd feeling...

    ha ha cathy... we found out the cats do nothing. they walk around, sniff things and do little else. its like they patrol their territory and any trespassers stroll thru only when the resident cat isnt there. there is a lot of cat traffic but i don't think we have ever seen two cats at...

    good morning. we rode the trail this morning for 1 hr 23 minutes. this is such a nice ride now that most of the crowds have gone back to work. it still can get busy but usually weekdays are not busy. no unusual animals today, just a few deer and rabbits.

    cathy there is a lot of construction going on to replace bridges and roads lost in the flooding years ago. not sure that explains anything for sure but been tough year. once thru was enough. we saw some bison, it was not the numbers we are used to seeing, and not a single calf. they...

    we mountain biked this morning. an hour and 25 minutes. an area we thought was temporarily closed was not, and it seemed like it was mostly unused with lots of tall weeds. when they log an area it's closed to recreation and after logging its an ugly mess for quite a while. they...
