Departure - La Crosse, Wisconsin

People have started to ask where we leave from and where we go to so here is the scoop.
We leave from (and return to) La Crosse, Wisconsin which is just about where Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin meet.

We'll travel 3 days downstream and explore one side of the river and then 4 days upstream while exploring the other side.

The closest big city is probably Minneapolis/St. Paul which is where I will probably fly into and rent a bike. From there, it looks like about a half day's ride down the river to La Crosse.

The double beds are a problem for singles but there's nothing we can do about that. I will try and free up one bed for a single by bringing my tent along, so at least we can squeeze one single on board!

I camped on an island in the Mississippi last summer (near La Crosse). It was awesome!

Cheers,
