Montello – Who Knew           

My traveling ladies met up in Montello recently for brunch.   I have been traveling through Montello for years to reach other destinations and figured one day would have to explore. Who knew what a wonderful little town it would turn out to be.  

Our brunch was at Table 15^th.   It prides itself on farm to table offerings and while the menu is small it is mighty.   We sampled the breakfast sandwich and the pancakes and scrambled eggs. Both were amazing with an unlimited supply of tea and coffee.   They welcome you to sit and relax, enjoy the ambience, or even play some games.  You won’t go wrong stopping 

You will find many interesting shops and other eateries along the main drag including a vintage movie theater.  The city has a number of parks including Granite Park that was once a quarry.   Beautiful waterfalls now flow over the granite walls.   The area is great for fishing and there are number of camp grounds close by.   

 

 

 

 

 

Montello is also home to an old-style Kwik Trip that is one of the busiest Kwik Trips I have ever seen.  It’s located by Granite Park so very easy to find.   

So instead of just driving through – take some time and look around.   You never know what treasures you may find.  

 New Home - New Adventures 

Been some time since a posted. Lots of life events in the interim.  My beloved travel companion and love of my life sadly died.   Lots of decisions needed to be made one being to  move to the Fox Valley area of Wisconsin.  I am pretty settled in my condo now and have done a bit of exploring.   So here is the first edition of my new adventures. 

But first – some updates on a couple of my previous postings.   The Touch of Ukraine in Madison is permanently closed.   So many sad to see that happen.    The Vintage Flip in Lake Mills has also closed.  

So on to my new adventures.   As people that follow my blog know, I love state parks.   Naturally that would be the first place I would check out.    Just a short distance from my home is High Cliff State Park.   Located at the top of Lake Winnebago just outside Sherwood, WI.  

The park gets its name from the limestone cliff of the Niagara Escarpment, which parallels the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago. A 12-foot statue of Winnebago Tribe Chief Red Bird, standing high on a huge granite rock, overlooks the lake.

This park provides access to the lake as well as great picnic and viewing areas if you prefer to look at and not be on the lake.   There are numerous hiking trails to venture out on and enjoy the large and varied bird inhabitants.   The park is also known for its abundant flora and fauna. 

Don’t forget to climb the tower and take in the breath taking view of Lake Winnebago and surroundings.   No matter the season, you will find lots to see and enjoy,
