We made two stops today, both interesting to me.
First was in a town called Wisconsin Dells, a place that appears to be nothing but endless miniature golf courses, rollercoasters, boat rides and pizza stands. It's basically a Branson for 13-year-olds.
Schnetz, why didn't you tell me about this place? I want to come back.
Saw a sick-looking ride that I wanted to try, but I would have risked missing the bus. It was basically a rotating giant steel beam with a two-person car at each end. The riders must have been 100 feet in the air and moving fast.

The picture shows some of Wisconsin Dells. Look above the tree for one of the cars on this ride.
Second stop was at Carson Park, a baseball field in Eau Claire where Hank Aaron made his pro debut in 1952. There's a statue of him outside the park, and a local sports writer who wrote a book on Aaron's year in Eau Claire joined us to tell his story.
A team in a college developmental league uses the field now, and their players were warming up for the game. I asked for information on them and was surprised to find that one of them is from Forney. So I introduced myself and blogged about him at HSGameTime.com.

I've been through Wisconsin Dells. Sort of the Arlington, Texas of Wisconsin.
