Day Sixty-Eight

Day sixty-eight we took a ride on the Dells Ducks.  They took us on a little tour of the area, and then we rode in Lake Delton for a while.  An interesting fact:  Lake Delton is a man-made lake, and in 2008 there were some horrendous rains and flooding that washed away their levee, so the lake actually drained!  After the levee was repaired, the lake filled back up in about a  month’s time from rainfall and the flow from Dell Creek.
The duck boat also took us on a little tour of the Wisconsin River, which is beautiful and has some of the same cliffs and rock formations seen on Lake Superior.  What a gorgeous area!



Afterward, we headed down the road a few miles to go on the Lost Canyon Tour.  This was a short tour, about a mile or so, through an awesome canyon while traveling on a horse drawn carriage.  The cliff walls were magnificent, and I don’t think my pics can even begin to capture their majesty.  While touring through, a deer just strolled right down through the canyon, nonchalantly.



A stop at Uno Pizzeria on the way home satisfied my pizza craving – yum yum!!  After some nap time, Jim took Sam over to the indoor water park for some more sliding!
