We started our morning in Dubuque and quickly made our way to Madison.  We found a Geology Museum at the University there that we had never been to. Although it was a smaller museum, it had quite a few specimens of interest.  After our short stop in Madison, we made our way to Appleton. We had planned on quite a bit of shopping, but the rain and the crazy amount of traffic changed our minds.

A Pyramid and 6 Trolls Oh, My! We grabbed some breakfast at the hotel and hit the road running. We were about 2 hours away from our first stop, The Bass ProShop Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee.  We took the elevator up to the top... It was pretty awesome. We spent some time wandering the shop before heading to our next stop, the Memphis Botanical Gardens.  I am not sure if you have heard about Thomas Dambo, but he is a Danish artist who recycles materials into Troll Sculptures. We have one in the U.P. (Ben2ny the Beardfisher).  The botanical garden in Memphis has 6 trolls on  display until May 21, 2025.  Ronya Redeye Rosa Sunfinger Kamma Can Sofus Lotus Ibbi Pip Basse Buller Then, we hit the road, venturing into 2 new to us states!  We will be exploring more in both states (Mississippi and Louisiana) over the next few days as our home base is right near their border.
