After spending a few days with Linz and Josh (creating Mike's song "He's a vanagon man") at the cabin in Waupaca we are still waiting for UPS. We stay the weekend and have a wonderful time celebrating father's day with the Hambergers. Monday morning we woke up, showered, pack up the van, and wait. A magical butterfly was helping us pack; good omen we decide. Finally at 3:30 the UPS man arrives. We are pumped. Take a few pictures, say goodbyes, and then we are off. I look at Mike, he smiles, and begins Amber's song "Jessica" as we head towards the road. Oh shXX! We almost get hit by a car going way too fast as we pull out of the driveway. Bad omen? No-I said almost! We proceed to North Woods County Park just outside of Marshfiled. Al advises we take site 91 and helps us with wood. It is 88 degrees, hot, and humid. It has been a frustrating and stressful day. As we unpack we realize that our magical butterfly has hitched a ride for 100 miles with us. We send her off into new territory and decide it is a good omen again. We bike to the swim area-just a crappy marsh hole. We decide to bike around the campground, shower, and have a campfire. Mike and I pour some cabernet from a box into our plastic wine glasses and enjoy the fire. As we sip Jack Daniels we come up with the name for our blog: Wheels, Whiskey, and Wilderness. The three things we will enjoy throughout our trip!!!
