Duck duck goose

Here's a Duck. This is what you ride on through the Dells. They're amphibious vehicles, left over from WWII. They were used to land troops on beaches (did you see Saving Private Ryan?). First you go through a bunch of woods, then you go into the Wisconsin River (and your goofy medical student tour guide named Sean tells you he's locking up the wheels and dropping down the propeller--before he tells you some more really stupid jokes).

The rock formations are pretty and it was nice to see sandstone again. I think I already talked about that. The rivers in the midwest are so different from our rivers here. They don't call the Mississippi Big Muddy for nothin'.
