May is quickly coming to an end and June is right around the corner. Ok, that's not news. How was your Memorial Day Weekend?

I decided to take a drive and explore a portion of my neighborhood. For those that don't know where I reside, see the pictures, but to assist in locating my abode on google, you can type in Top of the Ledge Campground, and you might find nothing. I'm about 3.5 miles from downtown Stockbridge which is about 8 miles south of Sherwood and maybe 9 miles from Hilbert and not that far from Potter which is somewhat close to Chilton, my favorite place.

So I headed North to High Cliff State Park and after wandering through a residential area, I find the park. Sorry, 7 bucks to get in was too much, for this trip. I will be getting a seasonal pass, but not today. So I checked out the golf course and club house. You know you're in Wisconsin when you read this: $40 for 18 holes, includes cart and lunch. Lunch consists of a Bratwurst, Cheese curds and a Leinenkugle Ale. Gotta love Wisconsin! No I didn't golf, just scoping things.

Next stop was downtown Hilbert and a place called Village Hearth Stone. Great place! Their taps include Rowlands Nut Brown Ale and Pilsner, along with a New Glarus Spotted Cow. They specialize in Wood Fired Pizzas, Potato Spun Shrimp in an orange/ginger sauce, Pan Fried Walley Pike, and an 8 ounce Tenderloin for $13.45.

One of the coolest things about this place is that they serve Andretti wines for a great price. The Andretti's frequent this place while attending the races at nearby Elkhart Lake raceway.

Third and last place was Rowlands Brewery in Chilton. No more has to be said about this place because it will make the pub crawl.

Supper's on, it's raining, thundering, and lightning...cool!
