Water and a Duck's Back

If you've never been to Wisconsin Dells, picture the Las Vegas strip, with-out the gambling. Several streets filled with; t-shirt shops and tourist booths offering discounts on the many water slides, amusement parks and well you get the picture. Ok, when in Rome....



We took a tour of the Wisconsin River on a Duck. A World War II relic that travels over land and water. Actually, through some very beautiful areas. Then we headed for Noah's Ark, which is billed as the Worlds Largest Water Park. Lots of inventive rides that we had never seen anywhere else.

Speaking of water.... we have had several emails asking if we were able to avoid the flooding that is currently plaguing this part of the country. For the most part yes, but I can say that in the last 2 months we have seen more severe weather than in the previous 20 years. Skys so dark with clouds that they turn day into night and lightening flashes, where a second one starts before the first has finished, turning the night into day. We have heard thunder that rolled on and on for countless minutes without stopping and rain that came down so hard that it passed through the weather stripping on the van. We did miss the major flooding however by 30 miles to the south.



We take it all in stride.... like water off a ducks back
