We went and toured the North Liberty Water Treatment Plant in order to fulfill requirement 5A of the Public Health Merit Badge. We got there really early and first toured the waste collection area where all of the waste water gets collected from all North Liberty homes. Then we went to the water treatment and filtering building and looked at the machines inside.

Wisconsin Submarine Overnight Trip, October 13th - 15th

We drove to Manitowoc Wisconsin on October 13th and spent the night at the bunkhouse lodge at the Marsh Haven Nature Center.  Before going to bed we ate at Pizza Ranch, which was awesome.  I love dessert pizza.  The nature center was a big building with bunks on the wall.
