15 Jul
We tore down and departed the Hoot Owl Hollow campground this morning at 1100 hrs in the rain. Normally I always try to flush tanks and stow hoses the night before but I did not do that last night. When will I learn?! 
Anyway, off we went and soon we crossed over the Mississippi River and entered Wisconsin.
We drove in rain off and on for most of the 104 miles today. We could really see it out ahead of us.

Two hours seven minutes later we rolling into here, with no stops. 
The William G Lunney Lake Farm County Campground is part of a 328-acre park that is a unit of the Capital Springs State Recreation Area. It has this campground plus three shelter facilities, two accessible fishing piers, play equipment, barrier-free boat launch (with a fish cleaning facility), group camping area, wildlife pond, observation tower, hiking and cross-country ski trails.
After setting up in the rain we took a break for a bit and had some lunch while the rain tapered off, then took Liberty on a walk about, including a stroll down the Lower Yahara River Trail
We don't have any huge plans here for our three night stay. Possible targets include the farmer's market at the State Capitol, New Glarus Brewery, and a mustard museum LOL! This is an interim stop on our way to our daughter's house for our oldest grandson's high school graduation celebration. We will see what tomorrow brings!
