Hell, yes we have left the Dells!!!

Well, where did I leave off!!!
The next day we went to Devil's lake to do some kayaking!! It is a lake that is a mile across and does not allow power boats. We had a very nice and quiet paddle. Just what the doctor ordered. That night we got back to find that there was a rousing game of ladder ball going on with the stereo blasting...some hag laughing at the pool...And, yeah another Scooby Doo movie..
OK ,I digress.
We had a nice paddle before another batch of rain came in.
Sarah and Dave took a hike up the hills and if you can believe it there is a path just below her. They got rained on more than once and there may have been some tears involved in getting back!!!


It really was beautiful there and certainly this is what it should be like here instead of all the roller coasters and water parks in my opinion!!!

The next morning marked our departure from the DELLS!!!!!! I have to say I was sad to see them go.
You do believe me don't you?
On Tuesday we headed over to House on the Rocks. It is a house built into the Rocks and once finished with the house the builder started collecting all types of.........well ,ALL types of things!!! This is the infinity room and is 150 feet long and 125 ft. off the ground.

This is one of the rooms inside the house. Very close quarters and there is more carpet in this place than I have seen in my entire life.

Part of his collection includes a huge carousel with no horses. It also had 20,000 lights. He also has one of the largest collections of music boxes and just STUFF I have ever seem!!!!

Oh yea, and a lot of this also!!!! I have to admit it was quite interesting to say the least!!!

Back at the campground and this is the view from the top of the mound. It was a beautiful weather day and Dave was able to get a bike ride in. He had hoped the trails here would be nice but he was disappointed!! We did have to pack up the trailer and move it to another site. The original one was at such a angle that we had all our chocks and jacks extended and were still at such an angle we all slept in the back. We were a little nervous to sleep up front!!!

Today while Dave was riding Sarah and I went in to check out Mt. Horab. We found an amazing place!!!! It is the home of the Mustard Museum!!!! Yes, there really is one.....with tons and tons of mustard. It really was ....ummmmmmmm....interesting!!!! Seriously have you ever seen so much mustard???? It is also the home of........wait for it.....POUPON U, yep, Poupon University. They even have there own school song. I kid you not!!

So in closing for today I leave you with this!!!
