+David, Nancy, and Blaise spent some time enjoying the outdoors of Southern Wisconsin the weekend of October 16th, 2020.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+On Friday Night David and Nancy camped at Yellowstone Lake State Park near Blanchardville.
+The campsite was nicely laid out with good privacy from adjacent campers, but there were some challenges.
+It was very cold and their tent and sleeping bags were not good enough to keep warm.
+A dog somewhere in the campsite area was barking for hours and adjacent campers made some noise.
+Blaise arrived at the campsite early next morning for breakfast.

+The family drove from the state park to the Brooklyn Segment of the Ice Age Trail.
+Like the day before, they drove on many small county roads which were very rural.
+On this trip they saw an Amish man harvesting his crops using 6 donkeys and an old fashioned harvesting machine.

+They arrived at the southern end of their planned hike, had a stand up lunch and then drove to the northern end of the planned hike.
+It was only a 6 mile hike but they planned to do a short piece on Saturday and the remainder on Sunday, camping at a designated camping are on the trail Saturday night.

+The hike to the camping site was nice weather wise and scenery wise but did have some strong wind.
+The campsite is on the top of a hill referred to as "birthday hill" by locals.
+After they set up camp they had an early dinner and tried to retire very early (5:00 pm ish).

+At 8:00 pm they were not able to sleep for the night, having just taken a semi nap.
+Further the weather was surprisingly mild, but about to get very bad in the early morning.
+So they broke up the camping stuff and hiked the remaining 4 miles in the dark before escaping to Madison.
