Highway 41 trek in and around Milwaukee, Wisconsin

 

OK, so now back to the trek after the short excursion to the source of the Des Plaines River.

 

Road interchange with Route 20, outside Racine, Wisconsin.

 

Crossing the Root River.

 

This is College Avenue near the southern environs of Milwaukee. This is one point where the trek will jump off the interstate and see a couple of sights by the lake. The only college I can find on the avenue is the Milwaukee Area Technical College Oak Creek Campus. College Avenue also goes by the southern border of General Mitchell Airport, but I couldn't find a good view of it.

 

If you take College Avenue east, you'll cross North Chicago Avenue, which extends all the way down the lakeshore to Illinois Beach State Park, and goes past Carthage College, too. College Avenue makes a 90 degree turn to the north at Grant Park. So here's a view of Lake Michigan from the park.

 

Grant Park Beach. Panning around will find the South Milwaukee Yacht Club.

 

 

More in the Milwaukee theme region shortly.
