USS Cobia Submarine


After docking in Manitowoc, we visited the Wisconsin Maritime Museum which provided an excellent history of marine activity on the Great Lakes. This included the museum highlight, the USS Cobia, a WWII submarine. We had an excellent guided tour of the ship and one of the original crew members, in his 90's, provided a true historical perspective.
We then took 151 southwest to Fond du Lac, where it threatened rain and we took refuge in a motel.....unlike campgrounds, Microtel has great internet connections.

That's crazy! Maybe in a few decades, we'll find you guys working at a Honda-Harley Motorcycle museum, gunning the engines for amazed passerby?

I can't believe how far you guys have traveled already!
