Next Stop, Wis-Dells August 12, 2024

Another short drive day.  These are kinda fun cause we start the day leisurely have breakfast do the dishes in our new dishwasher and then head out.  I’ve said this before, although this one is the direct replacement I liked the old one better.  More space in the drawer even though by measurements this one is a tiny bit bigger.

Yesterday, we set off to walk a trail we saw when crossing over the Mississippi River from Iowa to Wisconsin.  Turns out the park is closed but we did find this memorial with some surprising, new to us, stats.

Aug 13th:   Explore the section of Wis-Dells we missed the last time here.

There have been so many radio Culvers radio commercials for ButterBurgers  Allan “I like butter & burgers, gotta have me one!”

Here we are, I’m having a grilled chicken burger, Allan ButterBurgers with the works and sharing fried cheese curds.  First surprise it’s not a we serve you restaurant, it’s McDonald style, order and they will bring you the food.  Their claim to fame is their meat is never frozen and not pre cooked.  It’s all cooked by order.

Food arrives, mine is good, poor Allan’s burger has none of the “works” on it.  He takes it to the counter to get it corrected.  Was it the best burger, hum no.  Does he want another, NO.  At least it’s out of Allan’s system.

We’ll walk to check out this area.  We come across a Ponderosa Steakhouse  Growing up in Montreal we only went out for dinner once or twice a year and it was always to Ponderosa.  The last Canadian location closed in November, 2010. Wonder if now I’ll be the pain in wanting to go for old time sakes. Allan, I know it’s not your favourite but they do have Spotted Cow   Allan did go as a child as well. 

Next stop Moosejaw Pizza & Dells Brewing Co. 

Allan declares the RUSTIC RED  A rustic American red ale made with caramel malt for a sweet, malty finish. (ABV 5%)    Allan likes it 🙂  Mine is a Moosejaw Mary.Allan saying good bye to MJ 

Onward we walk when we see …

What did we buy?

Skill testing question,, where did Allan have this beer, Pretty Good Amber before??

Heading back to Bob still parked at Culvers.  We’ll have to visit when they are openBack to Bailey we go.

  1. Moosejaw Mary! Those stats are news to me as well. Will the world ever change for the better? Personally I fear not. My first eye surgery tomorrow.

  2. Nice antlers :p.

    We need more pictures of mother in these. Love Allan’s smiling face but I want to see mother as well :0

    Love ya

  3. Those stats were new to me also. Very sad numbers. I hate war.
    Otherwise, sounds like you’ve had a great couple of days.
    I love the view from your captain chairs.. Could alligators emerg from the foliage?
