Summer Trip Day #5 – Almost Home

Marinette County is thethird largest county in Wisconsin and is known as the waterfall capital of thestate. You would think that since it is so close to where I live and you knowhow I love my waterfalls that I would have been to them all. But no, and I don’tknow why.

We visited a few of themon a drive a couple years ago. But on the way home from our couple of ill-fateddays in the UP last month, when I saw the sign for Twelve-Foot Falls CountyPark, I turned the car down that road without much thought to getting home.

Google Maps said that itwas a thirteen-minute, five-mile drive from the highway to the park. On that winding,dirt road it sure felt longer than that. 

I left Hubby, with his broken bones from that fall two days before, at the bench overlooking Twelve-Foot Falls and took off to explore with the dog.

It was only a short walk along a tree-root strewn path to get to Eight-Foot Falls.

Tried to get a selfie with Hannah,

But the Loaf had other ideas.

Anyway, we had lunch in the car, then I started driving back to Eighteen-Foot Falls.

Left Hubby in the car there, while Hannah and I plunged down the trail. This one was a little more challenging than the last one, but we did fine.

But I also didn’t want to mess around trying to get another selfie with her and go over the edge.

Two hours and a long stupid argument and we were home safe and sound. Another vacation in the Travel Log.
