Hello Friends, I last shared episode #14 with you on our day dates, I am rather behind. Today I am jumping to episode #24. I plan to stay current and go back to share our past day dates. I will tell you, life is full and I will take that as a blessing. My goal is not to fall behind again.
Friday, June 12 we took a trip to Interstate State Park, St. Croix, Wisconsin.
Looking across the river is Minnesota, "Hello Minnesota".

We decided to hike Silverbrook Trail. We have visited Interstate many times when our kids where growing up, but we never hiked this trial.
Below is some information about the remains of the mansion that once was.
You are able to see much of the foundation, the old mine and the natural spring.
The weather was beautiful. We had high humidity earlier in the week creating some nasty storms. Friday was a perfect Wisconsin summer day. We did see some storm damage on our hike.
Team Day Date
We set off to find the hidden waterfall.
I love the sound of water, we could hear the falls before we could see it.
Later in the evening we did have a thunderstorm, you can see the clouds forming in the below photo.
We enjoyed a fun dinner at the Drive In before heading home.
Great pictures from beautiful Wisconsin! Glad you found the waterfall- how pretty. The state park looks so pretty. These days must be what you dream of during your long winter :). The picture of your hubby and doggy is cute, too- what fun looking companions!! Have a great Monday!

ReplyDeleteHope you were packing heat, Ernie doesn't look burly enough to defend you against bear, cougar, or felon recently released from prison.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day date and hiking spot. The waterfall is so pretty!

Going hiking on the trail for your day date sounds just right, Carla. That is the prettiest photo of the clouds coming in. And the Minnesota River with the clouds is beautiful. I'm glad you got to see the waterfalls. They are always so calming and peaceful to be around. And your dinner at the drive-in sounds really good. Have a wonderful week, Carla.
