August 2013 Road Trip Day 3 - Eagle River, Wisconsin
We got up at 4:30 AM and left Chicago 30 minutes later. Beat the traffic, you bet. Stopped at Kenosha, Wisconsin for breakfast at Cracker Barrel, which is significant because 30 years ago I worked at Cracker Barrel when we were newlyweds. We drove past Milwaukee and Green Bay, and somewhere along the way we stopped at a butter factory and bought...Cheese. Oh, and sausage. But no butter. Go Figure. We got to Eagle River early afternoon. It was a toasty 61 degrees! Eagle River is where John Clor and Lottie Green were married on September 15, 1898. We visited the local museum and courthouse, and tomorrow we may stop by the library. It was a good day.

On Wisconsin, on Wisconsin!!! North of Milwaukee, about 20 minutes, is the little Dutch town of Cedar Grove, where I grew up!!! Shoot, you just missed the Holland Fest weekend! And there is a wonderful cheese factory in Gibbsville, where the soft, warm cheese curds squeak when you chew them, and are out of this world good!!!
