Best of Menomonie

When I visited Stout the other day I stopped by Legacy Chocolates to get some coffee. They're the best in Menomonie for coffee, and probably chocolate too (I don't know of any other chocolatiers in Wisconsin). Check them out if you're passing through.

I took a little walk today around Menomonie after I visited Stout, I found two old railroad bridges and a cool cycle shop, that looked somewhat dilapidated. I have to admit, sometimes dilapidation adds "cool" points for me. I walked along a road for a while and then saw a paved walking path. Do I retrace my steps along the road to find it's beginning? No, I climb down a steep embankment and nearly break my ankle. It was fun. There was a nice old couple walking by that wished me the best of luck in my climbing. They said: "we'll be back this way in a while if you break anything", "thanks" I said, really hoping that wouldn't be the case. In all reality, if I had broken something there'd be a picture of it here. I saw them later on down the trail after I had successfully tangled with branches, muddy gravel and gravity. Here are some other pictures I took.
