25 Jul
This morning we said goodbye to Cliffside Campground in Racine WI and headed north through Milwaukee to Antigo WI, stop #20 out of 37 on our 2022 adventures. We departed just before 1000 hrs and headed north on I-41. Everything ground to a halt in northern Milwaukee due to a motor vehicle crash, but that is routine business in the city.
Our route took up past Oshkosh and today was the first day of the "EAA Airventure Oshkosh" which is a daily airshow featuring a wide variety of performances from the world of flight. All types of aircraft are featured. Our "flyby" from the interstate looked like a Camping World - RV's for as far as the eye could see!
At 1409 hrs we rolled into Antigo Lake RV Campground, a familiar and a favorite of ours. This is a hidden gem - a great little city campground with full hookups, paved spots and free firewood, and very reasonably price!!
More importantly it is the hometown of a great Air Force buddy Greg Noskowiak and his wife Diane. We were stationed together in the United States Air Force at Loring Air Force Base in very northern tip of Maine back in the early-mid 70's. Greg met Diane up there and at the same time I came home to marry my high school sweety Doreen and drag her back up there! If you have followed our blog in past years this is all old news. Diane was originally from Grand Falls Canada and Greg is originally from Antigo. After Greg left the Air Force they moved back here to his hometown and they raised their family. We have stayed in touch ever since. Each year we enjoy making Antigo a part of our itinerary so we can reconnect with Greg and Diane! Greg and I enjoy fishing and we all enjoy reminiscing about our times in Maine! So more about that later in the week.
