We returned to Wisconsin in early August. This state may be ridiculously cold in the winter months, but it is well worth a visit in summer.
We camped in the Nicolet National Forest. I wandered down to the river to find some fish. It is about the time of year when the salmon run up the rivers.
Phil was keen to help with any fishing...
At the end of the day we settled for a beer.
A tour around Wisconsin is hardly complete without a visit to Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers.
Phil and Chris took a tour of the stadium and were down next to the field. There are strict instructions not to touch, kiss or eat the grass...people actually will try.
The stadium currently seats about 73,000 fans but is under construction to increase that amount to over 80,000. There is a huge waiting list (thousands) for season tickets.
During the tour, we also went along the sacred (nearly) tunnel that the Packers run through to take the field on game day. The Packers are the only community owned US football team, and this may account for the dedicated fan base...but more importantly, they are the best team out. Go Pack!!
