-David, Nancy, and Blaise spent some time enjoying the outdoors of Southern Wisconsin the weekend of October 16th, 2020. -

- -

-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. -

Northern section of the hike. The family began their hike at the parking log where the IAT crosses Frenchtown Rd. They camped at the dispersed site near DA33.

-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. -
