Well thanks to Mark and Chris, friends of our friend Joy, we were able to get out on Lake Michigan again this month! It was a gorgeous night, but rather light winds. So many memories came flooding back as we motored out of the slip towards the open water.We weren't racing, but it was nice to be out on the open water and to see the city once again from the lake view. When we sailed y...

Golden Boy and Acorn also brought several things including a basil plant for Tonto's garden, some great beer from an Evanston brewery and some very peculiar maple-bacon ice cream. It was a novelty. There's also a lot of Linco...

Wisconsin Hiker and Martini Man. A sporadic publication of our adventures. Thursday, April 16, 2015. Tacky Tourists and Their Florida Kitsch. One of the benefits of helping my mom in Florida is that we get to enjoy the warm sunny weather. I have often jokingly said that I think I was a lizard in a previous life. My favorite temperatures are in the 80s and that is what we have had the first 2-3 weeks of April. Which is less than 30 miles from my mom. Martini Man as we begin our quest. There were even more...

The area also featured this artist's rendering of a friendly encounter between Lewis and Clark and the local native Americans.
