Ice Age Trail from Fawn Ave. heading toward Mondeaux Dam. First, headed west toward Mondeaux. The grass was tall, resulting in often finding ticks on my pants. A large spiders dropped in on my shoulder. After only a quarter mile or so, a large, deep mud puddle appeared, covering the entire area around the path. The upcoming mud and more deep grass, and swarms of skeeters, convinced me to turn around (my footwear was not appropriate for the mud). I headed east, and the trail looked more like I hoped. Short grass and open forest. Followed to the road, and walked on gravel back to the car. I decided going to visit my grandma was a better use of my afternoon. Found a bear tick (the small, diseased kind) and another wood tick on me at her house. I am not properly attired for Wisconsin yet.
