"So boring there was nothing here. No bathrooms or benches. I had to stop and stretch my legs but of course the one time I stop it's in an open field full of "history" and ticks"
"Semi drivers- great place to take a half hour or 10 hr. break. Very quiet and peaceful, I was the only person there. It's not really tight but swing a little wide going in there and you'll be just fine. Not sure if it's plowed out in the winter or not."
"Nice bit of local history just off the highway"
"A little grown up but a good place for a walk and rest. Wisconsin allows you to sleep in your car here according to google"
"Great view of the surrounding areas. Nice little place to stop and stretch your legs."
