Wisconsin Dells

We left Sioux Falls, SD and headed for Indiana for the Mandalay Rally on Oct 6th. We went through Wisconsin, and stopped and spend a couple of days at the Wisconsin Dells. Wow that is quite an experience. A beautiful place and very interesting to learn about how this was formed. We took a two hour boat trip up and down the river.

We got off the boat and walked on a trail through the rocks about a quarter mile, this was amazing. There were water falls and running water under the walkway.

They have trained a dog to jump from one rock to another, and back again. I was not fast enough to catch the dog jumping, but we did see it. Originally a photographer back in the 40's had his teenage son jumping over this, but decided to train a dog to jump, because it was too dangerous for the boy. He jumps from the rock on the right to the mushroom shaped rock on the left (center picture). This is the dog on the right.

We saw some beautiful countryside in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois too.

We are in Indiana now, had a great Rally, met a lot of friendly people, and learned a lot about Mandalay. We did get some repair work done on our coach and of course we still have our appointment at the factory on November 10th. We are staying here in Goshen Indiana at the Elkhart County Fairground for the next month.

Our daughter Kristy lives here in Goshen with her 6 children (ages 3 months to 16 years). We spent the day with them on Saturday. It is good seeing them again, it has been about 3 years. There is lots to see and do here in this area, so the month will so by quickly, sightseeing and visiting with family.
