IAT Verona Segment – 11/25/2025
It took a little while but I believe I can finally call the Verona segment done. I’ve started this hike from the north end, I’ve started from the south end, but both times I never went far enough to get all the way across. Today I filled in that short gap I left in the Read.

IAT Table Bluff segment – 11/22/2025
I was out on the Ice Age Trail again this morning, this time at the north end of the Table Bluff segment to help three other people with trail maintenance. A few of the “dips” (drainage ditches) on the trail had eroded or were clogged with silt or both, so we cleaned them out and Read.

IAT Verona Segment – 11/21/2025
I’m still trying to finish up the Verona segment. It seems to be the segment that won’t let me finish. I walked the first 0.6 miles from KcKee Rd at the northern end (plus the last 1.2 miles of the Madison segment) on 11/5/2025. I returned to the southern end today, intending to knock out Read.

IAT Steenbock Preserve – 11/20/2025
Today’s weather wasn’t the best for hiking: cold, overcast, windy, and just a little bit of drizzle. I went for a hike anyway. I wanted to complete a segment of the IAT I’ve been to before, the Gibraltar Rock segment. I’ve climbed to the scenic overlook of Gibraltar Rock many times, but up until today Read.

I enjoyed those books and enjoyed the very watchable television series that was adapted from the books. The got Emma Thompson Read.

IAT Verona segment – 11/05/2025
I had a walk around the neighborhood where we live but after completing my morning chores I felt the need to get out and get another walk in some place I hadn’t been before. There are several nearby segments of the Ice Age Trail I haven’t visited yet, believe it or not, so I picked Read.

cannonball
Went for a short walk along the Capitol City Trail and the Cannonball Path, two paved cycling/running/walking paths I’ve biked on often but have only rarely walked on. There’s an interesting little connecting path where the two mail paths pass close to one another, near Ashbourne Pond in Fitchburg. I don’t use it much when Read.

arboretum amble
Ambled around the arboretum for a couple hours this morning just because it was such a beautiful day and I didn’t have any other commitments. When I visit the arboretum, I always try to include a stop at Big Spring. It’s a really lovely spot. Read.
