Chance and I are camping, and the wonder is, we have an internet connection—but very weak. So this post will be very short, and hopefully these images can get uploaded.
Giant’s Bathtub, Matthiessen State Park
Last week, I posted images of the sunflower field at Matthiessen State Park. Time now to hike down into the upper Dells of the Park. Frederick William Matthiessen purchased the park land in the late 19th century, and opened it as a private park. He populated it with many deer, and so named it “Deer Park.” The image above is one of the highlights of the park. The pool below the falls is called the Giant’s Bathtub. If you turn around, the scene is the next image.
Upper Dells
The north end of the Upper Dells area is a waterfall coming off the dammed Deer Lake. Hope you enjoy. I’m off to visit my 200th National Park Service unit tomorrow. Hope to get posts of that next week.
