July 21 Madison,Wisconsin

No pics today I didn't see much that was worth taing a pic of.
First thing I reserved a spot for tomorrow night in souix falls, South Dakota at the koa there.So I will be leaving early in the morning.
This morning i went into Madison to sightsee. The town is old looking as most northern towns are. Yhe capital building is crowded in among many large office buildings in the center of town. The university of Wisconsin starts in the downtown area with high rise buildings that face right on the street. These are busy city streets too. it didn't take long for me to discover why There were so many bicycles and mopeds around. That is really a big place.Apparently their agriculture schools and researdh labs are with this school because i saw a building that was named the soil science building and another one that was a poltry research building. Then I saw a girl pushing a card down the street with what appeared to be a lot of young plants in it, It goes on for a really long way. Their sport fields for soccer, tennis, softball, etc are on the other side of he campus beside a lake. I didn't see the football stadium , so i suppose it is somewhere else. They have build a really big medical complex onto the campus, Hospital, research labs, and biomed labs for all kinds of stuff. This all appears to be new so they have invested a lot to see of money into medical research.
All over downtown includingthe streets around the university there was construction going on. Stimulus money being put to use i bet.
Came back to the trailer to eat lunch and then had planned to go back to the dells area for some more sightseeing, however when I got out there, it bagan to rain hard.
I drove around a bit, but I wasn't going to get out in that to take pics or look around , so i came home by a different way to see some more of the area. Just hung out for the rest of the afternoon.
Thats it for today. until tomorrow.
