Summer Trip Day #5 – Almost Home

Marinette County is the third largest county in Wisconsin and is known as the waterfall capital of the state. You would think that since it is so close to where I live and you know how I love my waterfalls that I would have been to them all. But no, and I don’t know why.

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

Google Maps said that it was 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.
