Day One- Lake Delton Visit.

Monday morning we loaded the car and drove to Wisconsin Dells. We got there at 10:30 and we couldn't check in to our hotel yet. So, We took a drive to see Lake Delton. Lake Delton was a man made lake that was dug about 80 years ago, and with the mass of water we recieved this year, it washed away into the Wisconsin River. Along with a few homes...

Yep. It's gone.

We drove in just north of the 'red zone' where the water washed away the area. About the only vehicles they allow are the 'Dells Ducks' on the tour route, of course.











Nothing left but an outboard motor,










lots of old cans










and mud.... er, what used to be mud.












We walked about 20 feet of shore along the north side of the lake. We also walked into the center of the lake on these dried up clumps of mud.




Some people really missed their swimming beach so they bought pools set them up on the beach.

I was surprised, we didn't see more fish.

We only saw one dead one.







There were some pontoon boats still halfway up sitting awkwardly on some docks.










There was a section that had a lot of pretty neat rock. It was like chunks of sand rock. If there is such a thing.


Next adventure... Day 1: Our Mt Olympus experience... um, almost....
