Bet you don't know what a monadnock is! Today, Janet and I went to the top of one. There are three of them in our local area and we took a little walk on the tallest one--Rib Mountain. That's right; a monadnock is a small mountain, ridge or knob arising from a gentle plain. We have lived here almost six years now and we drive by the access road to Rib Mountain every Sunday on our way to church, yet I have never been up Rib Mountain. It might be because it costs $5 and we're too cheap. But today, Janet and I blew the budget and went up Rib Mountain. It was fun.
The view looking south. It's pretty much the same as the view looking any direction, although you do have a nice view of Wausau looking north and east. It's not that impressive.
This is the highest point on Rib Mountain. It's also the third highest spot in Wisconsin.
I made it 2/3 of the way up the observation tower. Those of you who really know me know that I don't do heights. Here I am, safely on the ground, waving at Janet, who is up on the tower.
It's good to be queen.
