I'm a die-hard Aldi shopper. You cannot beat their prices. Bring a quarter (refundable!) for their cart, and bring bags (or ask them for boxes) to take your groceries back to the cabin. If you are budget conscious and love to save your hard-earned money (like me!) you can't beat Aldi.

The 9,150-acre State Wildlife Area was named for a series of gently rolling sandy ridges crisscrossing the property. Sandhill Wildlife Area lies within the bed of ancient Glacial Lake Wisconsin - an expansive region of flat, marshy land interspersed with forests covering parts of seven counties in central Wisconsin. The property features low, sandy uplands of oak, aspen and jack pine forests, large marshes and many flowages. A small herd of American bison, white-tailed deer, ruffed grouse, Canada geese, ducks, loons, bald eagles, sandhill cranes, shorebirds, songbirds, hawks, owls and furbearers find a great home here at Sandhill. You will find the land is a remote, quiet wildlife oasis amidst a bustling world dominated by people.
Here, you can explore on foot or enjoy nature from the comfort of your car along the motorist trails. You never know what you'll see!
