Excellent! When you were at Harrington Beach, you were about 7 miles south of me.
Sounds like you kept quite busy during your trip! I’m glad you took the time to visit and smell our dairy air!
Yes they were super squeaky! Even going into it knowing the curds would squeak, we were surprised at just how squeaky they were.
And great info about the name - we drove by that building but didn’t know that about the clock or the inspiration for the name.
You live in a beautiful part of the country! But how do you deal with the mosquitoes?? At one point while we were at the park, they were so many of them that if they had coordinated it among themselves I’m pretty sure they could have carried us off to some evil lair.
I was talking last night with my mother, who lives in Green Bay (about an hour or so north of where you were); she said that the mosquitoes in their area have been particularly horrible this year, likely because of how much rain the area has gotten this summer.
I raise 'em on my farm!
Seriously, I live on an old sand dune. to the west of me is my swamp, before the land rises in elevation to give me some workable farmland. To the east is Lake Michigan, which tends to be relatively mosquito free. So we raise a TON of them in the swamp, and recent years have been double plus ungood horrible due to lots of rain. And then we stick as close to Lake Michigan as we can. Or slather on the DEET. Or stay inside.
Two years ago they were so bad we were wearing facemasks because with every breath we took, we’d inhale some. Good workout to prep for Covid, sadly.
But really the season’s fairly short, 4-6 weeks usually. We spent a lot of time on the beach or in the water during that time. Lake Michigan’s water by us is in the low to mid 70’s at the moment. Had a lovely swim just the other day.
C’mon down to Madison! We had drought conditions in late spring, right when the li’l critters would’ve been laying their eggs in stagnant ponds. Ha, you spawn of Beelzebub! There ARE no stagnant ponds! Bwaaahhaha!
Add in a cool breeze off a lake in the evenings, and our front porch has been blessedly free of skeeters!
I gagged a little when I read that 
The cities (and particularly Madison!) were almost completely mosquito free. That was a welcomed change!
We (at least where I am, about an hour South of QtM) seem to have a lot more yellow jackets than mosquitos right now. I’m not sure which is worse. Getting dozens of mosquitos bites or spending the summer swatting away bees while I cut the grass.
