Lucky me, I had the good fortune of spending yet another weekend in Wisconsin. This time I trekked the 5 1/2 hours to Independence – about an hour North of La Crosse and 1/2 an hour South of Eau Claire. Beautiful area – here are 8 shots from the 4 days.

I guess I’ll have to hit up Old Town Ale House to check out the Sarah Palin Nudie, among others. After reading some articles, reviews, and hitting a few other websites I’m expecting this place to be a pretty great dive. Perhaps I’ll add it to this summer’s Beer Bar Bicycle Tour (more on that [...]
