Horicon Marsh - Day 41




After breakfast at the local Ponderosa Steak House, we headed for Plymouth.  Seven miles into the ride we tried the Wild Goose Bike Path.  However after 6 miles we found the crushed limestone was too slippery and overgrown so we returned to the road.  At mile 19 we arrived at the Horicon Marsh Wildlife National Refuge which consists of 31000 acres of marshy wetlands.  It is home to an assortment of birds and small mammals, some of which we observed.  We rode along the Marsh for 3 miles taking pictures of the wildlife and marveling at the vastness of the marsh.
