Yesterday took a trip for the day to Bong Recreational Area in Wisconsin, off 94 near Burlington. Remembering a trip there to smoke pot in front of the “Bong Rec Area” sign when I was in college, I naturally thought of it as a place to take the wife and kids for a day of fun. It actually turned out to be a very good choice. The place has a few different camping areas, hunting grounds, rocket launching field, horseback riding, falconry, hiking, biking, fishing, boating, ATV, snowmobile, and so on and so on. It is, apparently, the largest managed prairie in Wisconsin. What it also had, luckily, was a small warm lake, with an un-crowded little beach, immediately adjacent to a nice picnic area and park. Kids had a great time, with the exception of Katie losing her bracelet in the water.
