Vacation: End

Ok, so the week of fun is over.  Irish Fest was fun, Door County was sweet, Kettle Moraine South was awesome and the Yahara River expedition was a milestone.  What I didn’t accomplish was actually getting into Lake Michigan in my kayak or setting foot in the upper or lower dells.  I got too distracted [...]

Did you remember to watch the sunset?

4.2MB mp4 – 54 seconds Of course the video isn't nearly what it actually looked like, but I think I found a new favorite spot. I've gone by here plenty of times before, but I guess just never at sunset. Blew my mind to say the least.
