Wisconsin fun

So just when we thought we couldn't meet any nicer people, Brent entered our lives.
We were sitting outside a tiny store drinking Peace ice tea and starting talking to a local bicyclist, Brent, who was doing a "short" 90 mile ride around his area. We had fun talking to him about our experiences and his wild Great Divide bike ride, where he met a grizzly bear. We were lamenting about how we missed the city parks of Montana and ND, where we could camp for free. Brent told us we ought to ask the police or sheriff if we could stay in the city park in Freedom, where we were planning to ride to.
So we did! The police officer was SO nice about it. As we were taking turns relaxing in a chair we found in the lost and found, who drove up with a cooler of Wisconsin beer but Brent!! He took the chance that we had really camped in the park and drove around looking for us. Such a fun nite with a new friend!
