Portage

I spent a month up there with my aunt and cousin. I liked it. they had an excelent library, and the next town over has one of america’s best librarys.

This is one of the places I grew up. Sentimental attachment is what keeps me coming back but if you are just visiting, I would agree that the celery flats are a nice place to stretch your legs. My only complaint about that place is I had to find out the hard way that the path you follow does NOT loop around and spit you out towards where you came in. I walked and walked thinking “this thing should take us back sometime..its got to, right?” Then after about 4.5 miles or so, it dead ends over by Millum Park. Once that happened, I was so frustrated and disappointed I could puke. I thought “You gotta be kidding me”. SO, I just turned around and went back the way I came because thats all you can do and walked 4.5 more miles back to the car. It was an adventure I didn’t see coming.
