The Beer Traveller

So after leaving Great Waters Brewing in Minnesota, I figured I’d just hop on the freeway until I saw a camping sign.  I’ve had good luck in all the other states & usually find a campground within a few exits.

I pulled off three separate WI exits, all of which advertised a campground.  I proceeded to drive about 15 miles (each exit) in search of the advertised campgrounds.  For those of you who have not been to rural WI, picture no signs, no lights, & lots of bugs.  Now at this point I’m a little tired & a lot of cranky.  Each time, no campground was found & I spent an additional 20-30 minutes trying to find my way back to the freeway.  BTW…my gps doesn’t always work in east fuck Wisonsin.

On the last one I did find the campground; it was blocked off by a big gate & a sign that said “Warning, nude sunbathers present”.  This would have made the hassle worth it, but it was obvious no one was around & there was no way to get in.  I also had some concerns of getting stabbed; could have been a gay campground.

I finally gave up & pitched the tent @ a rest stop.  But only after cooking myself a can of soup.  Last meal I had was…I don’t remember.
