ON TIMM'S HILL – Timm’s Hill is Wisconsin’s highest natural point, at 1,951.5 feet. It’s also a five-minute drive from the cottage. One afternoon we drove out to Timm’s Hill and trekked up to the wooden tower they’ve built on top of the hill. If you climb up the tower, you will be greeted with a spectacular view of Wisconsin – miles and miles you can see from up high. Not a huge fan of heights, I was a bit hesitant climbing the tower, but the view was worth it.
ON FALLEN TREES AND DAMAGED DOCKS –
We had a couple of storms while we were at the cottage. The rain never lasted too long, but at times it was coming down strong and heavy. It came down so heavy one day that a fairly large tree at the neighbors (Joe’s brother’s place) was taken down. The funny thing was that the tree broke 15 feet up from the ground. The not-so-funny thing was that there was still quite a lot of tree that managed to smash down on their dock. Steve and I went down after the rain stopped for pictures, and were almost carried away by the enormous number of mosquitoes that had come with the rain. Trees falling is a common occurrence, or so I’d gather from the sheer number of broken trees I saw.
Here’s the before view of the neighbor’s dock:
