Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Kristen Butlap asks This is selfish, but I’m getting to explore Wisconsin a bit in October- if you could go anywhere (besides McFleischmans, it’s on the list!), where would you go? I’ve only been to Milwaukee and will be leaving from there.

The state has several different regions. In the south, it’s mostly prairie. I’d recommend visiting Frank Lloyd Wright’s studio at Taliesin.

In the southwest along the Mississippi River is an area known as the Driftless Region. This has lots of beautiful bluffs, and there has been talk of making it a National Park, but I doubt if that will ever happen.

Door County, which is the thumb on the eastern side of the state, is the most visited area. It shouldn’t be too bad in October, and you should have great color in the trees.

I’d also recommend going up north and visiting the Northwoods. There are thousands of lakes up there, and it is mostly coniferous forest. I’d go all the way north and try to visit Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Lake Superior.
