Day 32, June 21^st, Wausau, WI to Wisconsin Rapids, WI.  We had a fairly early start today.  I was moving early after falling asleep at 9:30 last night.  We ate breakfast at the motel and met a young boy named Isaiah.  He was to say the least hard to handle.  He wanted some of everything and expected his mother, with a 1 year old and one on the way, to wait on him instantly.  His mother claimed ADHD, but I wonder how much is nature and how much is nurture.  Isaiah seemed very bright.  The day was cool and some clouds.  This was quite a difference from yesterday’s hot and humid.  We headed south around Rib Mountain, the “mountain” in the Mountain Bay Trail on County Route N.  There were some hills but nothing too awful.  We stayed on county roads, mostly Route 0 through the beautiful Wisconsin farming areas.  Our first stop was Junction City where the 2 railroad lines meet.  We saw a Canadian National (CN) train switching to what is now the Wisconsin Central.  We didn’t realize it but we followed the train all the way to Wisconsin Rapids.  The CN train was taking a load of wood to the big paper mill in town.  There was a lot of road construction and we had to leave the lightly travelled Route O for State Route 43.  There were numerous trucks and more cars but all the drivers gave us plenty of room and there was a good shoulder area.   We did 54 miles by 1pm and arrived in Wisconsin Rapids.  There is a Cranberry Festival this weekend.  Who knew that this area produces the most cranberries in the U.S.  Tomorrow we will be on the Cranberry Trail for part of our ride to Union Center.  At the suggestion of the Chamber of Commerce, we chose the Mead Hotel in downtown Wisconsin Rapids so we could attend some of the festivities.  The Thursday night events were far less than advertised so we ate at the hotel.  We did get another view of small town America.  The residents were having a good time.  We were only there for the food and drinks, which were sparse.  All in all, it was a very good day.  It was a short day and the weather was perfect 75 degrees and clear.  Total mileage was 54.6
