Not really SAD, but

A lot of people are affected with Seasonal Affective Disorder in Wisconsin.  We have many, many days without sun during the winter months.  This year, we've had a string of days with heavy fog and unseasonably warm temperatures in the 30's and 40's.   Personally, I can't claim that I've ever really felt the effects of SAD, but this year, knowing that we are likely moving west later next year, I've been very impatient and annoyed with Wisconsin weather.   Sun trying to fight through the clouds It hasn't helped that my daily routine involves looking at the weather in Fort Collins and Tucson.  Their weather has been spectacularly sunny and more pleasant this time of year.   So, I haven't been blogging much because not much is going on.

BLM land doesn’t exist in Wisconsin. Nearly all of the National Forest land is in the northern third of the state. Dispersed camping for a vehicle like yours is available there, but it isn’t publicized. It’s usually a pullout on a forest road. I’ve yet to find great spots for a trailer and truck. On the other hand, our public land campground sites are generally larger and more private than the norm that I’ve seen out west.
