A bit of a late start, but well worth the extra pack-’n’-prep time. We stopped at Ehlenbach’s Cheese Chalet in De Forest, Wisconsin for a bit of cheese and a picnic dinner under a lovely shady tree nearby. Leo picked a blueberry cheddar (with real blueberries in it), while Jenny & I opted for a 7-year cheddar.

Tonight, we set up camp at Lake Kegonza State Park just south of Madison. So. Many. Mosquitos! But, other than Jenny nursing a bit of a cold, we’re all enjoying the trip.
