Today we left Munising and stopped at Lakenenland sculpture park. It was a lot bigger than I anticipated and had so many cool sculptures.
From there we drove to Da Yoopers tourist trap in Ishpeming MI.
Before reaching Iron River MI, a black bear crossed the road in front of us.
On the way to Woodruff, Steve mentioned that his family used to have a cabin in the area on Midlake, so we took a detour to see the area. He was able to go in and see the cabin (lots of changes).
We then left the cabin area and went to see the world's largest penny in Woodruff WI.
We then stopped for lunch in Minoqua.
As we continued south, we stopped at the Food+Farm Exploration Center in Plover to see the world's biggest potato masher
and John Deere's largest tractor
and then continued to De Forest to see Sissy the Cow
This was at a Ehlenbach's cheese chalet,
so Steve stocked up on cheese curds - or so we thought. They didn't last long.
We then stopped to pose with Pinkie the pink elephant.
Days 7-8
Our original plan was to spend one day with mom so we could all rest a bit and help with some projects before Steve and I headed back toward home, but his back was really bothering him, so we decided to stay an additional day.
This gave us a chance to visit Puempel's
stock up on cheese
and buy New Glarus beer.
