DeForest-Milwaukee-DeForest

Day 4....... We are off to Milwaukee having found there is a dire shortage of campgrounds there, we will do a day trip for now.

We call into a place called Lake Mills, a typical small town and go looking for the lakes but didn't really find them - think we missed the turn off... so we are soon on our way again.

Daryl wants to do the Harley Davidson Museum and that is where we are heading.  It's $18.00 each and they have some neat stuff in there, well worth it.


Serial number 1


 


Just the right size!

Trying to ride a 2013 Harley Davidson - thank god it was bolted to the ground!






Did a little shopping and then we head down to Milwaukee Lake to see what it's like and end up at the Marina, Yacht Club. 
Downtown Milwaukee


We saw there is a concert on further around the lake and go for a walk - for miles and miles literally.  Worked off that lunch anyway.   Huge lake area just like the sea with lots of family events going on everywhere. 












When we finally get round to where the "Summerfest" is, we find out it is $17 each entry which we didn't have on us - my purse is miles back in the car!  Oh well the thought was there - back we plod to the car and go to get an ice cream only this has now closed....

 

















We go for a drive around the lake edge for a bit and then head back out towards DeForest, stopping for petrol and the long awaited ice cream.  Then on our way again but we decide to stop at a Walmart on the way which turned out to be a GPS nightmare as obviously the roads had changed.....  ended up in Watertown..... quite a bit off track. 

Watched sun go down in a fiery ball again and got home as it got dark.  Time for a bourbon.
