Devil's Lake State Park is a state park located in the Baraboo Range in eastern Sauk County, just south of Baraboo, Wisconsin. It is around thirty-five miles northwest of Madison, and is on the western edge of the last ice-sheet deposited during the Wisconsin glaciation. We stopped here to hike the Tumbled Rocks Trail.

Panama Canal Transit - New Expansion Locks
I was on the February 25th Sailing out of Galveston
The trail was a 1 mile out & back with lake views the entire way.
That's a fun little trail through the rocks.
_This video is a great trip through time! Henry Ford's innovations are inspiring. His dedication to creating a better world is amazing. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing this history with us!_
Very nice video, John. I rode the trail a couple of weeks before you did. I stayed in Avery, which is another 10 miles west of the Pearson Trailhead - down the Old Milwaukee RR grade. I rode up from Avery to the East Portal, and then back down. It was a 50-mile ride and was some of the most beautiful country I’ve ever ridden through. It looks like you ran into the same squirrel that I did. I also found deer in several of the tunnels on the way up. Next on my list of rides is the Trail of the Coeur d’Alene, from Plummer to Mullan and back.
@@johnsampson2544 We also did sections of the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes after the Hiawatha. We saw 4 moose between Harrison and Cataldo so keep an eye out for them.
Thanks, John. Great editing and shooting. You sure had a great day to do this. It's been on my b-list for quite a while!
Did the Regal Princess have the game show “ The voice” of the ocean ❤
No
Looks like a fun trip.
beautiful videos
Thanks
@@journeyswithJohn5539 You upload amazing videos. Without proper optimization and proper SEO of your videos, your videos are not reaching your target audience. As a result views and subscribers are not increasing.
It took me about 50 seconds into the video to realize this, but I also visited here. I really liked this city.
Spectacular in many ways. The effort it took to build these facilities during the period they were built, all by hand, is difficult to fathom!
Great job
