WiNsconsin Dells

We spent the last two nights in Wisconsin Dells, at a wonderful campground.
Just sit right back and well tell you a tale, a tale of our lovely trip. It started from this not so tropic port aboard a medium ship. The captain was rarely seen, the tour guide loud and not funny. Fifty passangers set sail yesterday for a three hour tour... a three hour tour. The weather started getting rough, the medium ship was toseed. if not for the courage of our fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost. The Minnow would be lost. The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle.. with Gilligan and the Skipper too. The millionaire and his wife, the movie star, the professor and Mary Ann, here in Wisconsin Dells...
OK so thats not EXACTLY how it went about... heres our story:
We first toured the lower dells of Wisconsin, aboard a ship with Jim our captain and Lindsey our tour guide. Lindsey told us of all the spectacular sights along the lower dells tour. There were many rock formations, naturally occurred, such as a milk jug, with Elsie the cow on it, Hawks beak, profile of Black Hawk an Indian Chief, lover's cove, and gave us some history lessons about the Dells. This tour took just about an hour. The we boarded a bus to take us a block or two away (which we should have walked if we knew it was so short) and waited at the docks for an hour for our upper Dells tour. While we waited we watched carp swimming around the ducks that were wading. Stefanie was joking that gefilte fish looks different... When we finally boarded we had Captain Al as our tour guide and Bob as our Captain/Pilot. Captain Al was loud, though we probably shouldnt have sat on the speakers... We toured the upper dells, and were allowed off the boat at two locations: Witches Gulch and Stand Rock. Stand Rock is, apparently, very famous. HH Bennet created the first "stop action shutter" which he used with a cigar box and rubber band. The first photo he took with this invention was of fisherman, but noone believed him and thought it was staged, so he went to Stand Rock and had his daughter jump a 5.5 foot gap while he took photos. We saw a german shephard do this as our entertainment. This part of the trip (the upper dells) took about 2 hours. We then boarded the bus back to our car. All in all, our 30 dollar 3 hour tour took 7 hours, which included stopping at a local family restaurant for dinner.
We returned to the KOA, went swimming and had roasted marshmallows over our slow cooker fire.
Today we are off to Chicago to see some good family peepz! We will be there for two nights and then head further east.
