After awhile I saw signs for Crystal Cave and decided I needed to see what that was all about, so I exited. Another sign, off the exit, told me to go 6 miles. I did. And then 7 and 8 and 9. No other signs, no directions as to where to turn to find the mysterious cave...so I turned around and went back to where 6 miles was and turn down a road. After awhile I turned down another road and another. Eventually I decided that I wasn't going to find the cave and turned around again...except I must have missed a turn somewhere because I wasn't finding the main road again, and I had no idea where 94 was. I did see lots of trees, though...
And I saw (and smelled!) lots of cows...unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of them. They moved too fast ;)
**Photo Comment** Kristin sees a smiley face in the clouds in the photo above. I see a monkey. Either way it makes me happy.
Eventually I found myself back on 94 and decided to continue the adventure by heading even further east. Next I saw a sign for a bison meat store and gift shop and figured I needed to stop there. I was all set to buy some bison meat for a good ol' bison burger until I saw how cute they were...
So I left the bison ranch empty handed. I figured I needed a little more adventure, so I headed east again until I reached Menomonie. I'd never been there, so I decided to take a drive around town. I promptly got lost which up until this trip has never really been an issue for me...
Eventually I found my way back to 94 and decided I should probably head home (although a trip to Eau Claire and Madison seemed tempting). The ride back home went quickly and was quite uneventual...but I did learn a few things:
1. Bison are cute.
2. I'm addicted to Diet Coke.
3. Either I don't have as good of sense of direction as I thought or Wisconsin roads and signs are screwy.
4. Next time bring the good camera.
5. I need to do this more often.

Love it! Also, I love the new design (sorry if I already said that - I can't remember).
