A short visit to Wisconsin

We had a stop at Grant River Recreational Area in Potosi, Wisconsin, planned for Tuesday night. Originally, we had planned to be there for 3 nights, but some plans changed and we were only there one night...

A quick picture of our welcome to Wisconsin (just across the river from Dubuque, Iowa)

A picture of Gracie in the campground -- actually after we had spent the night there and were hooking up to leave! We forgot to take any other pictures.

We did get some chores done -- we dumped our tanks when we arrived at the campground, and then did a couple of loads of laundry in the evening. We had planned to enjoy watching the river traffic on the Mississippi, but it was hot and humid, so we decided that we'd hope to do that during another visit at another time.

As we drove to the campground, we drove through Dickeyville, Wisconsin. It turns out that the priest here went to seminary with Father Dobberstein (who built the Grotto of the Redemption in West Bend, Iowa, that I blogged about yesterday - https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-shrine-of-grotto-of-redemption.html) and was inspired by him to build a grotto also!

I got a quick picture as we drove out on Wednesday morning.

Note: had Liz and Jerry not taken us to the grotto in West Bend, I don't think we'd even have noticed this one! Isn't it funny how you notice things after your attention has been drawn to something similar?
