After spending several days in the Root River Valley we headed to La Crosse, WI to meet up with Dennie and Dee from Colorado Springs. We arrived there on friday and set up camp then went in to do our laundry and see the town.
La Crosse is a city of about 52,000 but it felt larger than that as it is spread out north and south along the Mississippi river but only about 4 to 5 miles wide due to the river valley.
It is a very pretty city with many older buildings downtown and the downtown area seemed to be a busy and active place with a lot of various types of business's.
We went to the Riverwalk area as they were having sand sculpture contests and here are a few of the sculptures, they turned out real nice. Each team was working hard trying to finish their project before the 4pm deadline for judging. Not bad for a bunch of amateurs!!

They also have a couple of riverboats here that cruise the Mississippi, one just does cruises for a couple of hours but the other one has dinner cruises with entertainment. Since we were there during the day we opted to take the river cruise and it was very interesting. I will list more about it in the next post.
