Lake Geneva WI

We are here seeing Jim's Annapolis college roomate 45 years ago, Tom Pinkl.  Parked our camper behind his store for the night. They were up all night talking about old times.

There is a trail that goes all the way around the lake 21 miles, with beautiful houses, you walk behind them on the trail. No bikes.

Lake Geneva is a resort city on Geneva Lake in southeastern Wisconsin. The lakeside Shore Path is dotted with Gilded Age mansions, many built by wealthy Chicagoans. Nearby, the 19th-century Black Point Estate and Gardens was the summer home of Chicago beer magnate Conrad Seipp. The Queen Anne–style house has Victorian furnishings. Local beaches include Big Foot Beach State Park, which has trails and picnic areas.

Tom owns an art store with lots of vintage african art  really interesting to look around. We bought a few toys for the kids. 

Nice meal camping in Toms parking lot it doesn't get much better than this, salad from Caroline's garden and finished the leftovers from whitefish.

The Yerkes 40-inch was the largest refracting-type telescope in the world when it was dedicated although there had been several larger reflecting telescopes. During this time, there were many questions about the merits of the various materials used to construct and design telescopes.
