the green, green, Green Lake

On our way from Chippewa Falls to Green Lake, we saw this rock leaping towards the sky.  Good thing I had my camera nearby, who would have believed it otherwise?

We arrived at our campground, set up and had lunch.  Then hooked up with my dear friend Mary and her husband Al.  It was when we all came back to the campground that we found out visitors were expected to pay $5 each, to enter.  Even though we aren't using the pool, golf course or play gound, our guests are expected to pay for the privilege of sitting in our trailer to visit!
We ended up going to the unfurnished house they are renting while waiting for their house to be built.
We had a nice visit and decided to get together the next day.

So today we went into Princeton, just to see if there were any princes hanging around.  Didn't see any.  I think they were all out looking for the falls in Chippewa Falls.

The downtown was decent.  Fairly well maintained.  But there wasn't anyone else out and about.... and we saw quite a few of these...

Not a real thriving downtown, but there were some neat shops and I managed to buy another cookbook, an olive spoon (look it up) and last but not least, a pearl bracelet.....when will it ever end?

We did come across a nice little spot that had a path down to the Fox River.

Is that a river or a mud slide?  Don't know if I've ever seen a river that brown.  And the water level was up.

I told Mary, "stand by those flowers"  and she did

The guys taking a break from shopping.

We left downtown Princeton, where there were no princes, and rode over to Berlin to a cheese factory.  Who can go to Wisconsin and not do a brewery tour, a cheese factory and Friday night fish fry? Obviously not us.
I picked up some shitake mushroom and muenster cheese and some sweet cream butter.  Cary picked up some horseradish cheese spread.  We stopped at our favorite store, WalMart and picked up a few essentials and then back to the trailer.  It was a nice day with good friends, and as a sign that I saw today stated, "This is as good as it gets".
