In Cheesehead Land-- Part 3

Drove through some of the back streets of Williams Bay and past the Yerkes Observatory. This place was built in 1893, founded by George Ellery Hale and funded by Charles P. Yerkes. It calls itself the birthplace of modern astrophysics. Lots of yellows.

Drove along the south shore of Lake Como. Always a pretty drive, but not much color.

Coming off the lake drive, we drove Snake Road, one of Wisconsin's Rustic Roads. This is one of the best drives anywhere, cruising 2.7 miles on a winding country road through the woods, pastures, fences, and a fair amount of color. If you don't visit any other place in the Lake Geneva area, this would be the place. Absolutely gorgeous. This is off Wis. Hwy-50 west of Lake Geneva.

Lastly, we drove along the residential streets to the west of town. These older homes, most dating back to the late 1800s/early 1900s, are kept up and then there are the trees, which always provide some of the best color anywhere.

We then got on US-12 and took it to Elkhorn, where we caught I-43 toward Mukwonago.

Always a Great Drive, and, So Near. --RoadDog
