WildWestDays2008: Our Accommodations

We hastily made our reservations for Viroqua's Wild West Days at the last minute, so our options were limited. We rented a cabin one night then switched to motel rooms the next. We had a bit of trouble actually finding the cabin place when we got there. And when we did, we pulled up to the office which was wide open but no one was there. A sign told us to go inside an call the phone number and someone would eventually come and take care of us. We didn't get a good look at the outside of our cabin until the next morning. But it really wasn't so bad, and aside from the shower where you had to pull a string to get hot water, it actually was kind of fun...in a roughing-it sort of way.

The office...

The sign...
...yes, it is a life preserver...

Aunt Annie "roughing" it...

Cowboy Sam...

A feature of our cabin was that the stairway had a tree trunk in it...
...later we noticed it had a ceramic squirrel on the railing too...

Upon closer inspection...
...we noticed the tree trunk in the staircase...
...had been watching us...

Morning came...
...we found a heavy fog had enveloped our cabin...

In the fog, it did not look quite so bad...

Until we saw the upholstered chair on the porch...
...ewwwww....

The fog burned off...
...and we could see the natural splendor of the scenery...

That was about when we noticed...
...we could see twin Winnebago's....
...both sitting on cinder-blocks...
