Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Sounds like they're just hybrids with a different name

 

Tuesday 10/04: First hike is directly across the road from camp at Rainbow Falls. 189 steps down then back up but totally worth it. View is obscured but reaching the bottom is more work and more dangerous than I’m willing to try today. Amazing waterfalls along the Black River here.



Sandstone Falls is the next trailhead down the road. Another amazing falls (actually several of them) and you can hike onto the rocks right up to the edge. Lots more steps here, easily over 100 up & down the cliff.



Next trailhead up the road is Gorge and Potawatomi Falls, a 2-for-1 special of sorts. Sadly the Gorge side is barricaded off like part of the platform is too dangerous. Potawatomi is partially blocked but the main viewing deck is still open and only 500 feet of walking on a paved path to get there.



At this point I found my 256GB iPhone memory was nearly consumed - been taking lots of photos & video. I didn’t even think it was possible so all my PC gear to handle such an event is back home. Had to visit Walmart, buy an SSD drive, then use their demo laptops as my own personal computer lab for about an hour. Back up to 150GB free which should handle the rest of the trip (I hope). Stopped for another pasty at Rigoni’s Bakery in Ironwood. Not bad, but sorry the other two I had were better.



Stopped at the Rize dispensary for umm supplies and curiosity. From there I was at a crossroads but luckily @pearing messaged me so I met him in Ashland at Deep Water for a couple beers and some tasty poutine.



Silver truck gang!!



Made camp at Frontier Bar & Campground on Hwy 2 because I’ve been there before and I know they have showers (which I am a fan of at this stage in the trip). Tomorrow if the weather holds I might not have numerous updates but possibly a very rare and difficult place to reach. Hasta manana.

 

No checking in. If I die, I die. My mom used to try and baby me with that stuff. I appreciate the concern but seriously if I checked in with people every time I did sketchy stuff everyone who knows me would die of stress.

Also to turn it around I usually say that I’m probably the most stinky and scary thing in the woods. Don’t worry about me, worry that poor old Bambi has to sniff my socks.

 

I would ground you….end of story!!

I still make my 30 year old MMA fighter check in with his location every time he stops for gas when he drives home to visit from where he lives in Colorado.

 

Thanks glad my posts have the Larry D stamp of approval LOL! Nah seriously thanks just trying to bring entertainment.

Ultimately when I get home everything goes on my website/blog as my own photography hobby. If you or anyone else is interested just PM me and I’ll share the link. Don’t want to post it in public as self promotion and also not to doxx myself.

 

I guess since I’m 39 and I don’t do MMA then I’m off the hook.

 

You’re never off the hook! When he turns 39 I’ll still be making him

Tell them about the time you almost bought a Nissan Rogue

 

Haha! Moms never stop worrying. Mine always checks up on me when I drive down to Florida to visit them.

 

Definitely dodged a big bullet there
Plus the forester looks better imo

 

This! Your pictures are incredible and I applaud the dedication to taking and uploading them. I'm still sitting on pictures from the road trip this past March...

 

You seeing this @wi_taco ?

It’s our job… we never stop worrying or wanting the best for our babies regardless of their age.

 

What vehicle is this?

There are a bunch of Nissan Skyline GTR launch control reaction videos on YouTube that are pretty entertaining.
