Wisconsin

Saturday brought us all the way to Wisconsin, quite a change of scenery from that morning’s start in South Dakota. Some factoids:
- The highest point in the state is only 1,953 feet, but Wisconsin does boast several ski areas; we passed by one on the highway
- The center of Madison, the capitol, rests between two lakes – Mendota and Monona. Frank Lloyd Wright lived in the area and his influence is evident throughout. The FLW-inspired convention center facing Lake Monona has a rooftop garden memorial to Otis Redding, who died in a Lake Monona plane crash in 1967. (Ironically, “Dock of the Bay” came on the radio just as we left the area)
- Here is an example of Wisconsin building design that was NOT inspired by FLW:
