Interesting things from our trip to the Stevens Point - Plover area

While up in the area for my cousin's wedding, Lorrie and I were able to do a number of other things. We actually drove up on Friday so we wouldn't be rushed and it was just easier to have a room there on the morning of the wedding.

Alright, things of note:

1. I have traveled many of the roads in the state of Wisconsin but this is the first time I have taken I-39 up through the center of the state.
2. We did see the Good and Evil Watertowers, though we didn't stop.
3. Sunday morning we had breakfast at the IHOP. (Note: It's really not that interesting, I just thought it was funny they had a picture of it on the Plover website. It's at the bottom of this page.)
4. I-39 is the Veterans Memorial Highway and in Plover there is the Korean War Veterans Memorial at Lake Pacawa. We stopped there on Sunday before leaving.
5. If you are staying overnight in the Stevens Point area, I recommend Rudy's Red Eye Grill. It is attached to the Holiday Inn though it's more like a large convention center complex.
6. Stevens Point is home to Sentryworld, the famed golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. This course is a must play course and is always ranked highly by golf magazines and websites. The signature hole is the 16th, a par 3 where 60,000 flowers act as a water hazard.
7. Stevens Point is home to the oddly enough named University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. U.S.News and World Report ranked UWSP seventh in the top public universities in the Midwest in its 2007 rankings.
8. Stevens Point also has a rich history of supernatural occurrences.
