The rain didn’t start until 6:30 this morning, but I thought I had a little more time than that, so our tent is now hanging in the basement to dry. Oh well. Getting your gear washed for free is just one of the many benefits of camping. Right? Anyway, before the rain arrived, I didContinue reading “A wet wrap-up at Kohler-Andrae…”

Kohler-Andrae hits a high note…
There was a nice breeze blowing out of the west this morning, so the clouds and fog didn’t stand a chance, and we had nice clear skies, for a change, at Kohler-Andrae State Park, and this allowed me to venture out looking for wildlife earlier than usual. The first treat this may have precipitated wasContinue reading “Kohler-Andrae hits a high note…”
Twice the fun at Kohler-Andrae…
The clouds this morning in Kohler-Andrae State Park were thinner than I feared, but some early-morning fog made up for that, at least for a while. Thus, when I finally spotted this pair of sandhill cranes literally standing atop one of their namesake sand hills, I ended up with a bit of a moody picture.Continue reading “Twice the fun at Kohler-Andrae…”
A cloudy day at Kohler-Andrae…
The rain overnight was nowhere near as bad as we feared, and it was all done by morning, so yay! The clouds, however, have been thick all day, so I didn’t have a lot of light to work with, but I did the best I could. I did see a doe with her fawn, butContinue reading “A cloudy day at Kohler-Andrae…”
More pretty sights at Kohler-Andrae…
It was another beautiful day at Kohler Andrae State Park, and Anne chose this morning for our new family tradition of riding our bikes down the Ozaukee County Interurban Trail to get breakfast in Port Washington. The breeze was super light for our ride down, and then it picked up out of the south toContinue reading “More pretty sights at Kohler-Andrae…”
Off to a great start at Kohler-Andrae again…
As I mentioned yesterday, Anne and I are camping at Kohler-Andrae State Park for the week with her extended family, and we’re off to a great start, weather wise. It was cool this morning, but the sky was clear, and the wind was light, so I had a nice time checking in with old friends.Continue reading “Off to a great start at Kohler-Andrae again…”
Kohler-Andrae 2025, Day 5
It appears that some of the Canadian wildfire smoke is back, or there is enough of it in the sky east of here, but either way, it turned the sunrise over Lake Michigan into a dim fireball this morning. Happily, the birds didn’t notice or didn’t care, because there were plenty to see this morning,Continue reading “Kohler-Andrae 2025, Day 5”
Kohler-Andrae 2025, Day 4
We did have a big bike ride yesterday, and so I never managed to capture any wildlife pictures, as predicted. Happily, we had a beautiful morning in Kohler-Andrae State Park today, and the wildlife was plentiful, so here is some of what I saw. There were at least three deer in the Kohler Dunes StateContinue reading “Kohler-Andrae 2025, Day 4”
Kohler-Andrae 2025, Day 2
A thick cloud deck rolled in sometime overnight, here at Kohler-Andrae State Park, so it was a pretty dark morning, and I gave the cordwalk through the Kohler Dunes State Natural Area a try. I hadn’t even stepped off the pavement yet when I spotted three wild turkeys, who did their best to ignore meContinue reading “Kohler-Andrae 2025, Day 2”
