Spent night #1 in Dodgeville, WI. Went to a little neighboring town called Mineral Point for dinner at a local brewery. The place was packed, so we took a walk around the main street. Lots of nicely restored buildings from the late 1800's. Pretty sleepy, except for the fact that there were 5 bars within about 3 blocks of each other with names like Cruise Inn and Bubba's. We went to the Midway and got a couple of local beers. Had a nice conversation with Chris behind the bar, who recommended beers from the New Glarus Brewing Co. with one called "Totally Naked." Nice. Total price for 3 beers: $7.50. Even nicer. Had some great conversation, and learned that they had 115" of snow this year, and that Chris is also a school bus driver. Everyone there was great.This morning I was updating the blog with yesterday's activities, when the blogging was aborted when we lost all power! Turns out the whole town lost power. Time to get outta Dodgeville...
(This is the first post done from the road. On I-90 in Minnesota. Had to pull off and spend about 45 mins on the phone with Verizon to get internet access working. Of course.)

You really can't go wrong with a beer called "Totally Naked". Also $7.50 for 3? Why do people leave Dodge again?
