Bye bye UP, Hello Wisconsin

Wouldn't you know it? We have been looking for eagles all this time in the UP and last night, as soon as we got back to the RV, a golden eagle came and sat in the tree above our RV for at least an hour. I think he (Sam) was saying - don't go! It flew away only when some small children came along the beach - it didn't like all the noise of those boys. Beautiful evening last night - had light rain, but listened to the fog horns of freighters passing, heard Sam screeching, and quiet solitude. With the sunset at 10:45pm, it was quite late by the time we headed to bed. About 1am Dave woke up to the moon beams spreading across the bed. Since we didn't have any neighbors, we could leave the shades up. This made it good since we could look for Sam or Bambi anytime. We kept a lookout for Bambi - the one we saw the first morning and since saw it playing in the road! And guess what? It came by first thing this morning to say goodbye also. And who was in the tree again this morning? Yep, Sam. Again, to say goodbye, come back soon. Something I forgot to mention - where we were camping - a couple purchased the adjacent property, built a $1Mil home, and are not living there because they are afraid that if something happened to them, the nearest hospital was 1/2 hour drive away. Well, if they have that kind of money - put in a helipad for helicopters. And, both of them are doctors? What are they thinking? Here's a pic of their home that is sitting empty.
Left Sunset Bay RV this morning at 9:30am and started the drive down the UP, through Michigan and into Wisconsin. No traffic, lots of fog, do deer - thank goodness! - and easy drive. When we got on I39 heading south out of Wausau, the terrain changed dramatically and you definitely knew you were not in Michigan. We are at Wisconsin Dells, not far from Madison. Will look around here tomorrow - see the Dells, maybe go to Frank Lloyd Wrights home, then head out Monday morning for Chicago and into Indiana and spend the night in Elkhart. Home Tuesday. Can't wait to see Chip and Grace - our sitter has said Chip really is missing us - he is right at the front door as she comes in, I think he must think it's us coming home.
