    From the marker:…read more "The names of many places and families in this vicinity reflect the origin of its early settlers. Most of the settlers of Cedar Grove and Oostburg were from the province of Zeeland, although some have lived for a time in New York before catching the westward fever in the 1840's. Here the settler cleared sufficient ground for his new home, which was raised or 'logged up' with the help of neighbors. Inside, wrote Pieter Daane in 1847, 'very many had nothing but a ground floor; stools sawed from logs were the only seats, a chest answered for a table.' One group of about 300 immigrants headed for new homes here in 1847 met with disaster. After completing the long journey from Holland, they were within five miles of their goal when fire broke out aboard the "Phoenix" and more than 200 lives were lost." This site alongside a highway shares the story of multiple tragedies. In addition to the one regarding the fire above, there is another marker nearby that shares the story of the most devastating traffic accident in Wisconsin history which occurred nearby on October 11, 2002 and injured more than 40 and claimed the lives of 10. There are some benches here for reflection.

    Boring but they do have a trash can so I guess you can read the sign for about 30 seconds, check…read moreout the memorial, and clean the trash out of your car. Police like to hang out here to watch for speeders on Sauk Trail. It usually is not plowed out or accessible in winter.

It was definitely worth the effort and time, as you can see for over 20 miles. They have picnic tables and restrooms near the parking area, primative restrooms. Enjoy your lunch with all the wildlife you can imagine.

    Another one of Wisconsin's gems. This State Park is an absolute blast to hike. The loop is…read moreapproximately 4 miles that take you up and down and around another section of the Kettle Moraine State Forest in Plymouth. A set of long stairs usher you up to the tower and that is where we started our journey. We climbed to the top and what a sight it is to see. This tower is high up as it sits on the crest of a hill. Amazing and a bit scary all the same time when you get to the top. Bring your pup cause this place is a perfect little spot to hike thorough with them. Trails are well marked and walking through the forest here is a bit surreal as you are led through windy twists and turns that are littered with rocks and trees and so much nature it is just a pleasure to experience. We drove up from Milwaukee and it takes about 50 minutes to get here. When heading home I suggest taking the scenic route back and driving by Long lake and through the country side of Wisconsin. Lot's to see and just an enjoyable jaunt all around!
