highway 35



Paralleling the Mississippi, Leila and I cruise highway 35, weaving in and out of river towns in various states of vitality. Trempealeau marked a stunning destination and our first camp site right in view of the Mississippi. And Joan and Shirley will be happy to know, no bugs!! The composite above may require a bit of decoding - views from inside the tent (no cover necessary as the full moon launched party night for the birds and wildlife) reveal two Baltimore Orioles, a plan shows our spot in relation to the Trempealeau Bay, and the heavy paint stick our vista to the water. Heated up Korean leftovers, half of a Burek from Three Brothers in Milwaukee, and a lovely Chianti, and some chocolate...well I'd say camping is good.
