Arrived at Don's new house in Elcho, Wisconsin about 4:00pm yesterday. Don built this place on the farm where he grew up. He tore down the old farm house and built a "green" house on the same site. The house has a geothermal heating/cooling system that is way techie! He had a lot of advice about the decor from Mary Alice and between them they did a great job.
We went to dinner with them at Shady Sue's in Rhinelander and it was excellent. This morning we saw Mary Alice's new place. Very elegant and nicely done. She showed us the claw marks from the bear that climbed up to the second story balcony to get at the bird feeder. Scary!
We set out in search of waterfalls in the local area. We saw 18 Foot Falls, 12 Foot Falls, 4 Foot Falls and Horseshoe Falls. Beautiful places of silence and solitude in the woods. Picture above is Horseshoe Falls. To reach these sights we toured the back roads (dirt roads) of Wisconsin. All of them! We drove at least a hundred miles today on dirt roads.
Finished off the evening with dinner at Maiden Lake Supper Club. Great food, lovely patio with a view of Maiden Lake.
There is no cell phone service at Don's house, so I will attach pictures at Maiden Lake (they're in my phone) tomorrow when I can get them across.
BTW, didn't see a badger, but we did have to slow down to avoid a porcupine in the road and a deer that jumped out and crossed the road in front of us.
