Exploring the Pepin WI area!

Monday, August 26th -- We only had 1 day to explore in the Pepin area, so we crammed in everything we could! We tripped across something on the internet that looked really awesome. The Buena Vista Park Overlook in the nearby town of Alma. So we went to check that out.

Driving thru the town and seeing that it was set on the side of a hill. we immediately assumed the drive up to the overlook would be white knuckled.

Not quite sure how that happened, since there were no other roads coming into these farms. LOL.
