Ellen & Phil Hart, the owners, were as helpful as they had been for the time I spent in Kabetogama. Nice people very willing to share the local information and allow me to sit in their cozy general store with a cup of coffee and peruse the internet which they had access to. No service in the park. Ok, on my way to Wisconsin. The hour was 4pm and it was time to find a campground. As good luck would have it, I found Willow River State Park in Hudson Wisconsin. I stopped for two pleasant days of camping and a great hike to the falls. Heading out the next morning brought me more gremlins. This time it was the transmission on the Jeep. I then spent two more days of camping, only this time in the parking lot of Hudson Jeep and Chrysler. I was again fortunate to meet John Darud, Service Consultant, who set me up next to an electric outlet that their detail man uses in a private spot out of the way. So now I have electric and a nice parking lot to camp in while my torque converter was repaired. I was also given a loaner car to run my very important errands, like getting my laundry done. John and Mackenzie Martin, a co worker were friendly and willing to do whatever it took to make my stay as comfortable as possible. John extended his capabilities and gave me a much better price for the not so inexpensive repair that was originally quoted. If you are ever in the town of Hudson Wisconsin, stop in to see John and know you will be treated right. Thanks John. After an early morning thank you breakfast with John, I set out to Milwaukee. I should not fail to mention the Park Ranger, Kelli Bruns, in Willow River who pointed out a new state park only 20 miles North of Milwaukee which will make commuting to Milwaukee a snap. Thanks Kelli.
Enjoy a few pictures. TC…
