Description
Aug 18-1925
After breakfasting in Juliet
started toward Wisconsin, a lovely
drive thru a lot of nice towns
had heard of. Roads fine and
splendid. Not far from Chicago
towns, Way up toward Madison
there was a detour and we had
trouble finding the right
road. Pretty nearly ran out of
road at one time, then had to
go back a few miles but
finally reached Madison, Wis.
Drove about the city a little,
stopping to visit a fine hotel
where dinner was found in
the basement. Learned the city
camp is in a city Park on
Lake- which we had
passed going in. It is a large
wooded park and has fine camping
facilities. In the sunset glow
on the water the dome of the
capitol was reflected from shore
to shore. The capitol is on a hill
and the streets radiate from it like
the spokes in a wheel.
Night of Aug 8 was spent here with
hundreds of other motorists.
Vertical left side:
State House in distance. View was taken in front of University building.
