A full-blooded Irish lass, Mary M. Bauer was born and raised in Lutefisk Country. She and her husband jumped the state line over a dozen years ago and bought a Wisconsin dairy farm. Her two children ran off to college, then found careers to avoid baling hay and fence painting. A former nurse and interior designer, Mary began her writing career as a weekly columnist for a regional newspaper. She discovered ranting in public and getting paid for it is a lot of fun. She is the author of Adventure Publications' Minnesota Day Trips by Theme and Wisconsin Day Trips by Theme. Besides family, her major loves are traveling, hiking, books, decrepit Christmas decorations, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. She is a dog and cat person, and is thinking about adopting a pig.

This guidebook is packed with more than 300 of Wisconsin's best destinations, organized by theme so readers can decide what to do and then find where to do it.
