Haven’t been doing a whole lot except exploring the beautiful Driftless Area. Last night I had a good visit with a married couple I knew in the mid 70s. I was very good friends with him back then. They retired from a Chicago suburb to about 10 miles from where I’m camped in La Farge. So strange that he ended up being a tool and die mold guy just like me.

I’m the only camper in my campground.
Fishing the Timber Coulee once again. I’ve usually fished it in June. Now the weeds are higher than my waist and the ground is uneven so it isn’t easy walking. Caught a few small brown trout.

Once again in the Driftless Area for some relaxation, some trout fishing, and to have a beer with a good old friend. I’ll be here four nights and will depart on Friday my seventieth birthday. What are ya gonna do? I’m camped at La Farge Village Campground. La Farge is a little town with its own little campground with electrical hookups, a dump station, potable water, and a bathroom with hot showers for $20 a night. The Kickapoo River, a fairly famous trout river runs through town and the drive in or out of town is beautiful with the road following the river through a valley.
Sounds like the high school band is giving a little concert in the park.
