We are in Sparta, Wisconsin. Looks like we might be here awhile. Fuel pump went out, probably due to ethanol. If you've never heard of it, here is a bit of info.
Welcome to Sparta, Wisconsin
Sparta is the county seat of Monroe County, nestled in the beautiful rolling hills of western Wisconsin. Once known for the healing powers of the local artesian springs, Sparta is now most recognized as the junction of the Elroy-Sparta and La Crosse River bike trails. Sparta's claim as the "Bicycling Capital of America" is based upon the first rail bed in Wisconsin to be converted to bike trails between Sparta and Elroy.Seems significant that it is Sparta.
