What is a Wiscavenger Hunt?

I suppose you are wondering who we are and what a Wiscavenger Hunt is.  To start off, our names are Rachel and Kellen (sometimes we go by the names Roxanne and Kyle, but that's a different story for another time), and we decided one day that there were so many interesting things in Wisconsin and that we wanted to go see them all.  Using RoadsideAmerica's website, we found 50 free attractions in Wisconsin, and set out to go see them all in 72 hours or less.

Almost exactly 72 hours (and 1,500 miles!) later, we succeeded in seeing all 50 and having our photograph taken with each one.  It was dangerous--we nearly died twice.  It was exciting--we saw so much and met so many great people.  It was frustrating--we got lost a lot, locked the keys in the truck twice, and had to sleep in a Walmart parking lot in the worst heat imaginable.  But it was also worth it--we became much closer as friends and learned so much about our state of Wisconsin--so much so that we want to take our Wiscavenger Hunts to other locations of the United States.  However, we're just going to talk about our first Wiscavenger Hunt, which took place from July 15-18, 2011.  

It was definitely the best experience of our lives!
