An hour later or so we found ourselves in LaCrosse, trying to locate what turned out to be a dinky little park with no pizazz at all. There were four or five people there with their dogs, and we didn't find either the two legged or four legged friends particularly friendly. This is illustrated in the picture you see on the left, where Dudley was trying to make friends with this rather wild looking puppy!
Our road atlas said that a trip to Trempealeau would be worthwhile, with beautiful views of a dam and bridge. We drove up there and saw there was a dam and a bridge. We were underwhelmed, and don't recommend taking that side trip if the reader is ever tempted!
As the dogs needed a break and it was lunchtime, we stopped at a scenic overlook park in Unalaska, and were impressed with their welcome sign, shown here on the right. Tough day when the highlight of the day is showing a fish sign!
We took a "red road", which are generally more scenic than the interstates across the state. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case on this ride, and it was frankly pretty boring.
When we went to check-in at the RV campsite, the owner wasn't there but her daughter-in-law was. She said she wasn't sure if the camp was open yet (the KOA book said it opened today!), but she knew four sites were available with full hookups and told us to pick one; so we did.
After 6pm the owner did show up, and was apologetic for not being there. She said she was so busy she didn't know if she was opening this day or tomorrow, but was glad we came in! We constituted 50% of the guests there this night!
