If you haven't guessed, I took an extended vacation to the cabin with my daughter and the dogs since her various summer activities didn't start until this week.

One thing we did that was quite enjoyable was hike into Roche-A-Cri state park (about 5 minutes south of our cabin) and climb the 303 stairs to the top!

The weather was perfect and the view was lovely. I was shocked that it was so empty - we were the only climbers at that time - but then it was a Wednesday at 11 am.
