Vegas on the Dells . . .
Today is our last day here in the Wisconsin Dells and we pretty much did nothing all day, just taking it easy.
I did redo the ground connection on the charge wire that keeps the toad battery charged while we’re towing it behind the rig. Everything was working fine until I had my Blue Ox Aventa Tow Bar rebuilt at the recent Escapade in Gillette, WY. I noticed when the tech was working on it, he added new Teflon washers in the ball joint and I’m thinking that was enough insulation to keep the tow bar from acting as the ground connection between the toad and the rig. So now I’ve done a separate wire to fixe the problem.
I hope.
About 7 pm Jan and I headed into the Dells to have our last dinner here at Famous Dave’s BBQ. We’ve only got a few more weeks in Famous Dave’s territory and want to get in a few more meals.
As usual we had a great meal and got a bread pudding dessert to go. Free this time due to taking a online survey. Neat.
The Dells kind of reminds me of Vegas with all the out-sized attractions around town.
This is “Top Secret”, an overgrown version of those roadside ‘Mystery Houses” that you see in some areas.

Then there’s another large area with a Greco-Roman theme, complete with a Trojan Horse,
and a Roman Coliseum.

And here’s one of the smaller of the many waterparks in the area. They even have a number of very large indoor waterparks.
Leaving Famous Dave’s, the sun had gone down so we spent some time driving around checking out all the lights on the attractions. Again, like a Vegas, Jr.
Tomorrow, after getting diesel, we’ll head north about 230 miles to the Island Casino in Wilson, MI. Then on Saturday we’ll be Sault Sainte Marie for a week, an area we’ve never visited and are really looking forward to seeing.
