East side of the Mississippi River WI

Left Sal’s and headed down river toward Don Moritz’s farm just east of Wisconsin Dells. Back in Wisconsin again we arrived at Dons’ late Saturday evening. Don is an old friend, collector and student from my Santa Fe Workshop days. Don has a very good web site at http://www.moritzgallery.com/ Recommend you check it out.

His farm is quite beautiful. Situated in the rolling hill country of Wisconsin it is surrounded by small dairy farms, the Wisconsin river runs close by and we had quite a time riding his motorized mules around the 140 plus acres. Went out site seeing and spent an afternoon in Baraboo, at The Circus World Museum. For many years the town was the home of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.

After a great visit and a chance to make Don’s portrait we headed out this morning and traveled west along the Wisconsin River then back North along the East Bank of the Mississippi heading toward Stockholm to visit friends of Joan and Jerry my friends who run Dakota Framing in Houston. Still trying to go west….
