My blog has not been updated for a few months and to my dedicated readers my sincerest apologies. However I am back so lets write ! Its 11am and as I gather up my events past and present I am enjoying a cup of tea while catching snippets of the Rachel Ray show. I am thinking of having lunch/dinner prepared in a couple hours. On the menu and off the top of my creative noodle I would like to savour up some salmon with toasted walnuts glazed over some honey balsamic vinegar sauce with a side of jazmine rice and black eye peas. Ok that was me side tracking, now on to events past.
Yesterday was interested fun and funny at times. I meet up with my friend from Stevens Point she moved like I did to wisconsin but she unlike me was here for school. Finally finished her Master's in Behavioral Science and so to celebrate we headed out to her fav cafe very niice place and excellent food by the way, we did a bit of chatting eating laughing and sun 'baking' as i recalled her saying. I think what she really meant was 'basking'.. We then got done and headed to the Lake. Lake Patenwell - http://www.lake-petenwell.com/ happens to be Wisconsin's second largest lake. Did you know that? O shut up no you didnt !
From there we proceeded to Roche A Cre state park.You have no idea what that is? Well to my non US readers I am not sure either but i recommend you googling this cause I am on a roll and dont wish to stop and explain. Thanks! Just kidding here you go http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/parks/specific/roche-a-cri/
Ok remember I told you it was funny at times? Here is why, we got to the park lovely lovely day by the way temperatures in the mid 70's got there and started to hike one of the tallest peaks in Wisconsin. From history many many thousands of years ago this was before your parents were born, wisconsin was covered in glaciers and this paticular point was somehow left un - flattened so to speak. Not the tallest as compared to the majestic mountains in Oregon but still quite the view. So the plan was to hike to the very top capture the beauty from high up take in the fresh crisp spring air and then make our way back down. Well we did just that but it was so illegal. We could have been caught and put in jail. The pathway leading up was blocked for renovations. We decided to make a run for it hurdled through the brushes tree's sticks rocks and whatever else that was still dead and started our climb. There were 394 steps. All wooded mostly in rough shape all under repair. We were rebels for the day. However it was well worth the risk cause I'd say the view to the very top was pretty nice. In every direction there was a story a peak a ridge a bluff a natural wonder wisconsin has to offer. I regret not having my camera but we made good memories non the less.
