Northern Wisconsin is beautiful. I headed to copper falls and found that my fear of running out of gas was unfounded as long as I filled up frequently. Planning ahead for where the gas stations were in the small towns along the way was a great way to relieve my worry of being gasless (well seamus being gasless anyway).

The further north and north/east I drove, sure enough the rugged terrain brought on a sense of masculinity in the air. The presence of more wild animals brings on the presence of more testosterone. I love the feel of an area where I know there are mountain men or bushmen present. The raw animalistic nature of the earth brings out the same in people.

I planned to see a Copper Falls on the advice of a friend and to the tune of $11 US I was allowed to drive to the parking lot and take the 1.7 mile hike through the forest and past the three water fall areas. I decided to go through the hike backwards, that is not walking backwards, but I started at the end and ended at the beginning. The reason for this is so that I am not stuck behind or in front of the same tourists as we all walk through the loop. Plus, if you go in reverse, you cross paths with more new faces.

This hike is also wheel chair accessible. I loved the smell of the air and nature all around. There is also a camp ground here.

Onward and driving further north in Wisconsin the rugged remote feel of the landscape was invigorating and I found a nice place to pull over on the highway overlooking Lake Superior.

I LOVE sleeping in my bus. I fell asleep to the sound of the waves and woke up to the sound of the waves.

Driving with cozy slippers on is my new favourite thing. Spending hours driving is better in soft plush slippers…
