The Wisconsin Dells July 15th

Well we had not heard of the Wisconsin Dells until we came through Wisconsin this time.One of the oldest sites to appear on maps of the western Great Lakes region is the “Dalles” of the Wisconsin River. It was identified as a convenient reference point by French explorers in the 1700’s.The name stuck after the French explorers left Wisconsin, with the spelling and pronunciation Anglicized as the “dells”

The area now is quite a tourist spot,but it was fun to visit. We had a great hour and a half tour of the area via an WWII vintage Army amphibious duck.(I even got to drive)...Great Fun and at only $23 it was a bargain for sure!
