Wausau, WI
What started with a dead battery in the quiet woods near Bayfield quickly turned into a full, satisfying day. After a quick jump-start, I found a great coffee shop, explored two standout galleries, wandered downtown Wausau, and ended the day with a cold beer and live bluegrass at a lively local taproom.

Bayfield: Museum, Restaurant and Trails
Today was supposed to be a kayaking day around the Apostle Islands, but heavy rain and wind had other plans. I spent the day exploring Bayfield on foot—visiting the Maritime Museum, walking the Big Ravine Trail system, wandering the historic streets, and learning about the town’s roots at the Carnegie Library. A blackened trout lunch, a double chocolate ice cream, and time photographing the trails rounded out a quiet, weather-shifted day. By nightfall, I was back in the woods, falling asleep to the sound of rain on the van roof.
