We got home early yesterday afternoon from an awsome 3 day vacation of camping, biking, hiking and even canoeing in Wyalusing State Park in Prairie Du Chien.
We really enjoyed the time we spent there. The Highlights:
Spending an unexpected 3 hours at the Sawmill Saloon while Michael played a new learned card game "horse thieves" with the owner Denny and his friends: Kenny, Joan, Bud & ??? = they were great host and we had an awsome time.We just did a bit of biking and getting the lay of the land between the 2 campgrounds and sites in the Park on Saturday. Sunday we biked through downtown Prairie Du Chien and around the island. It was a beautiful ride. Monday we saved our biking for the afternoon and took to the trails in the Park. It was the most exhausting ride ever. Grass hills straight up and down for 2 miles, but as soon as I could breathe and speak I told Michael it was a blast.
Sunday afternoon we also went Canoeing on a 7 mile trail - well lets just say that it wasn't exactly our forte' the first half was ruff, 2nd half we seemed to find a better rythem but then we were competing with the speed boats so we were exhausted and not looking forward to our next canoeing expierence.
We did a little sight seeing in McGregor, IA - it was such a cute little town, it really reminded us of Deadwood, SD.

The friends of Wyalusing thank you for the great review of the park. We agree, the park is awesome. Be sure to check on the blog at http://friendsofwyalusingstatepark.blogspot.com/
