• Wisconsin Dells

    Posted on by Kerri & Matt Comment

    The Wisconsin Dells are some sedimentary structures on the Wisconsin River that have drawn tourists for over 100 years.

    If that looks like a bad picture taken from a pirate-themed minigolf course, that’s because most of the scenic viewpoints in the area don’t allow cameras for some reason.

    Over a century as a tourist attraction has resulted in many interesting attractions.

    image

    Many of which seem more weird than scenic.

    And seemed to have nothing to do with Wisconsin.

    image

    We definitely weren’t only there because it’s the waterpark capital of the world…

    Where even the cheapest motel must have at least 6 elaborately decorated swimming pools.

  • Most Boring Highway in Michigan

    Posted on by Kerri & Matt Comment

    On the US side there were more tractors on the road.

    image

    Then we drove down the most boring highway in Michigan.

    image

    We didn’t have to drive the most boring highway in Michigan.

    image

    The other route was 8 minutes shorter according to Google.

    image

    But this route went through a National Park and wetlands and seemed likely to be much more scenic on paper.

    image

    It wasn’t.

  • Trans Canada Highway

    Posted on by Kerri & Matt Comment

    Many parts of the Trans Canada Highway seemed more mountain-like than anything that we had previously seen in Ontario that were called mountains. Here’s a hint, if you build a road through mountains and just lay it straight up the mountain, it’s not a mountain. Roads through mountains look like this because you have to make a flat part to put the road on.

    image

    We also saw a guy selling knives from a stand on the side of the highway, a horse-drawn carriage, and a “warning horse drawn carriages” sign. Kerri wasn’t quick enough with the camera to get any of these things. But we know you won’t believe us unless there’s a picture so here you go:

    Then we crossed a bridge into the US.

  • Manitoulin Island

    Posted on by Kerri & Matt Comment

    We took the ferry across to Manitoulin Island, which is the largest island within a lake in the world. This picture isn’t of the island, which was too big to take an interesting picture of.

    image

    The ferry passed a cormorant with a very orange beak.

    image

    This is the largest lake within the largest island in the world.

    And this is the largest island within a lake within an island within a lake in the world.

    image

    There are several lakes within that island, and some of them even have islands. But we decided we’d have enough of this nonsense and moved on.
