Summer Plans
I just want to remind people (especially new arrivals) as they start thinking about summer plans: there is a huge lake about an hour's travel east of Madison. I mean huge, the size of one of the Great Lakes. Practically an inland sea, except that it's fresh water. I discovered it last September.
It also has a deep and wide white sand beach. No development yet, so if you're going to stay overnight or longer, you'll have to camp. But it's a lovely place to get away from the city.
