Appleton, Wisconsin is an interesting spot in the trek because you can go around the small city (boring), or go through it (more entertaining). So this part of the trek will do both. First, we'll get there.
125 - College Avenue exit for Appleton. Now we'll take the boring part around.
Fox Valley Technical College
Big curve to the east
Driving by north of Appleton
This is just off Highway 41 on North Freedom Road; Simon's Specialty Cheese Shop. This will not be the only cheese shop stop around here.
Just past the exit for Kaukauna, but we'll return by another route.
One more thing, a historical note. Appleton used to be the home of the Appleton Foxes, a minor league team that happened to host a lot of big name big leaguers (before they were big). You can read the history here, if you want to. The stadium that was in the city is also history, but now there's a new stadium outside the Highway 41 perimeter, which is home to the successor team to the Foxes, named the Timber Rattlers.
Here's a view of the stadium entrance. It's possible to glimpse it from Highway 41, across from Fox Valley Technical College, but this looks better.
