Cruising the Dells

We spent most of the day with our friends Pat and Kirk, roaming around the town of Wisconsin Dells.  We looked in some of the many shops and also took the 2-hour boat ride through the upper Dells (the part above the dam.)  There are a lot of rock formations on the banks of the Wisconsin River, and our tour guide gave us some history about the lumber industry there and then how it became a tourist attraction.  There were two places where the boat docked, and we took walks.  One went through "Witches Gulch" and the other was to "Stand Rock".

There are a number of different boat tours of the upper and lower Dells, plus much of the town is covered in theme-park attractions and water parks.

This is the kind of boat we were on.

Can't have a tourist town without one of these!
