I hit the road for an epic day of Parks on the air activations. Five parks, four of them new to me, plus some adventures on the side make for a fast paced POTA experience.
Our adventure starts in Mineral Point located in Southern Wisconsin’s driftless region. Christine signed up for a Blacksmithing class at the Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts. We’ll check in later to see what she made.
This left me the day to rove around and put some parks on the Air. I found five POTA entities in a 20 mile radius including the Governor Dodge State Park that’s our base for the weekend. So while she pounds away on the anvil, let’s explore the area and put some parks on the air.
