Actual temp -9.5 with a windchill of -27.  Hard to believe I was wading the the Root River 10 days ago!

.

Even more beautiful today than yesterday - hard to believe.  Forestville again but this time to cave where stream emerges from Mystery Cave.  It was almost dry.  Janet and I walked over the rocks into the cave.  I was so happy I wanted to sing --- and did.  Janet recorded me singing Nights in White Satin (which I will not post to save myself the embarrassment).  Almost like spring in January.

.

If last week's spring like weather was sensational, today is even more spectacular.  With Dewey as our guide, Janet and I walked out to the new 454-acre addition to Forestville State Park along the South Branch of the Root River.  Towering cliffs.  Water looked clean enough to drink -- so we did.
