Blanchardville, Wisconsin & Our RV Philosophy
We find ourselves drawn to small towns off the beaten path and when we are east of the Mississippi and public lands are scarce, some of the small towns provide a fantastic experience. Make sure and subscribe if you would like to follow along with Terri, George(me) & Gizzy on our adventures as we wander the country living full time in our red, 2002 Newmar Dutch Star, diesel pusher RV. I swear, we have to be the only people in a red class A motorhome.
You can also follow our blog at jumingoffthecliff.com or on facebook via facebook.com/jumpingoffthecliff. We started this adventure in the Summer of 2016.
While our channel is based on living full time in an RV, our subject matter wanders a little like we do;)
Anyway, I hope you will join us as we wander about. Thanks for watching, subscribing, commenting, etc.
Devil's Lake State Park, Northern Lights Campground Sites 194-246
Landscape architect, John Nolen, recommended in 1909 that this site be set aside for a park. Established in 1911, this 9,000+ acre park near Baraboo, WI draws over 1.2 million visitors a year. The 360 acre lake is spring fed giving fishermen, paddlers and swimmers a crystal clear water environment. The lake was formed by glacial activity during the last ice age. What was once the Wisconsin River is now a dramatic gorge cut off at the north and south ends by glacial debris. The quartzite rock formations of the park are over 1.5 billion years old and rise over 500 feet above the lake. This grand canyon of the midwest takes its name from a mistranslation of the Ho-Chunk Ta Wa-cun-chuk-dah, meaning Sacred Lake, Holy Lake or Spirit Lake. According to Ho-Chunk mythology the lake was the birthplace of the Buffalo Clan and is the site of the legendary battle between the water spirits and the thunderbirds. A number of effigy mounds are located throughout the park. This video includes the Northern Lights Campground sites 194-246. Music copyright 2008 by Maury Smith.
