Waupun WI

Bright sun, not as humid as yesterday, and a stiff west wind blowing me around as I go north 78 miles. Terrain changed, now rolling moraines, more wooded, plus wheat and pasture, cattle and horses added to the predominant  corn and soybean fields. 
Ended the day on the flat, compacted gravel Wild Goose State Trail, a very mixed use trail, equestrian and ATV/snow mobile friendly, bicycles an afterthought. But it beat being buffeted by the wind and truck wakes on the highway, and it offered frequent shady glens. Instead of the expected nature or historical markers, someone had put up signs featuring the planets at representative orbital distances. A little strange to see in such a green world, and I regretted stopping for photo since I was swarmed by mosquitos.
