We don’t really know if this waterway is “for us” but we checked out the possibility of accessing Koshkoning Creek at CamRock Park this fall since we were in the neighborhood. We had an urgent need share lemon verbena tembleque with our Cambridge friends.

Cox Hollow Lake at Governor Dodge
When my 6yo great-niece and her parents invited us to visit them at their Governor Dodge State Park campsite, we took the opportunity to paddle one of the two lakes in the park.
We had a few simple FAQ questions for which we could not find the answers so decided to document them here. Continue reading Cox Hollow Lake at Governor Dodge

Inspired by a social media post, we decided to check out the Chain O’ Lakes area “some day.” Serendipitously, a need for some special cheese instigated a look-see. The game was afoot!
