Expedition

Tracklog image

We left Platteville about 10:30 a.m. and had an easy drive to the hashpoint, which was on the north shoulder of Circle Road, a few miles north of Lancaster, Wisconsin.

The sky was completely cloudless when we left home; a few puffy white clouds drifted in as we travelled, but it was a beautiful day to be out. We had a quick picnic in the shade of the van's tailgate, then headed back in time to meet my daughter's class, on a picnic of their own.

Photos

We were there...
and we were happy.
