Wisconsin the second day The Leap of Faith

OK hope day two in a bit more exciting then the first one. So now we are going to try Wisconsin Dells. Going to try a boat tour look good, let see. So we travel an hour and half to here. WOW a tourist area for sure. Largest water parks, restaurants, Saloons?, Chain rest. Ripley's, al the makings of a tourist place. Find the boat tour place and grab our tickets, 2 hour boat ride with two stops on trails. We had an awesome journey through the hidden passages of Witches Gulch and then the famous trademark of the Dells, Stand Rock. Where the famous jump happened at stand rock. Known as the LEAP OF FAITH. A photographer Henry Hamilton Bennett was trying to prove the concept of photojournalism, invented a stop action shutter (which he called the “snapper”), improved the speed of the chemical exposure process. 
In 1886, Bennett took his iconic shot of his son Ashley jumping the five and a half feet from Stand Rock to a ledge and back to show how his shutter could freeze action. Ashley had to jump seventeen times before his father thought he had the perfect shot. Some people initially thought the photograph was a trick, because in those days capturing an exposure took a long time, which is why everyone looks so glum in their portraits. They had to stand still, not moving a muscle. 

His photographs attracted throngs of tourists to the beauty of the sandstone gorges of the Wisconsin River Dells.  (The city of Wisconsin Dells is also now the self-proclaimed Waterpark Capital of the World.)

DELISH buffalo mac and cheese and jalapeño bacon and cream cheese mac HUMMMMM

Of course after eating that mac and cheese I felt like a cow so I thought this picture was fitting haha.
Now with full bellies we explore the town of wisconsin dells. Purchase....well guess...of course some cheese at the cheese factory.
After all that it was time to sit a bit thought we would check out the Show Boat Saloon where happy hour the beers are all $2.50. Eat your heart out Terry Mccurley....
Actually got to say I had a great beer. It was a fruit beer. New Glarus Raspberry Tart. OMG so good.

 Now tourists watch a German Shepherd make the leap. You have to be quick to take your own stop-action photograph, because the dog makes the leap only once. 

We both got, damn we good. The whole 2 hours were wonderful and so enjoyable. Interest about the The Dells of the Wisconsin River (also called Wisconsin Dells) is a 5-mile stretch of river with gorges and stunning Cambrian sandstone rock formations.These formations are only known to exist in 4 places around the world. WOW. Originally referred to as the ‘Dalles’ (narrows) by the French, the Wisconsin Dells is home to some of the most beautiful natural sandstone sculptures in the US! Some of the unique cliff faces tower over 100ft above the rushing waters of the Wisconsin River.

So now we are staving we waited to take this trip about 45 minutes gone for 2 hours, it time to eat, its 3 wow way pass lunch. Got to check with my good friend Tripadvisor. Oh look a mac and cheese place called MACS

Time to head back. Nice sunset to end the day.
