Chris and I took the Rover out to check out a scenic overlook where I wanted to take some photos. Unfortunately, the overlook was closed, so we drove around the area for a bit and then came up with the plan that we wanted to take the Rover out onto a sandbar.
After a crossing a bridge from the south side of the Wisconsin river to what we later found is named “Long Island”, we spotted a trail that ventured into the forest. I selected low-range in the Rover’s transfer case and descended down the dirt trail into the forest, only to be thwarted by a large rock – definitely placed there to keep 4WDs out.
Were we going to let a big rock stop our fun? No, we blazed a new trail to the left and ventured deeper into the forest, threading our way between the trees and crossing deep ravines and uneven terrain with aplomb. That was until we discovered the mud:
Ebb & Flo 2009 went a bit better for me this year – no tornados, no wild porta-johns, and quite a bit drier. We took the Rover on a little trip around the property, so click on the “Continue reading” link to see the photos.
With all the snow we’ve had in the last two years, it brings memories back from childhood. However, I still remember having more snow when I was kid – I thought maybe the height difference had something to do with it…
My mom found these pictures the other day and showed them to me. On second thought, maybe we did have a bit more snow (yes, that’s me in the pictures).

Synopsis: Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) is a retired CIA agent desperately trying to spend more time with his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace), after being away from her life for so long. Divorced from his wife, Bryan is finally starting to reconnect with his daughter when Kim decides to visit Europe with a friend. Bryan soon discovers that rather than visiting museums and exploring Paris, Kim will be following the U2 tour across Europe. Having traveled the world, Bryan warns against the dangers of Europe, but concedes and lets Kim take the trip with a few stipulations: she must call him every night to let him know that she is safe.
Kim neglects to call Bryan after landing in Paris and Bryan quickly becomes worried. Bryan calls Kim to find out that her friend Amanda lied about staying with cousins in Paris and that Kim and Amanda will be staying in the apartment alone. While on the phone with Bryan, things quickly deteriorate when Kim spots kidnappers abducting her friend Amanda and Bryan knows she is next. While still on the phone, the kidnappers soon discover Kim hiding and take her. One of the kidnappers picks up the phone and Bryan gives him a choice: hand over Kim or be killed.
