Hey, I'm up here in the cheese state too. My outings on foot have pretty well been limited to the Ice Age Trail. Coming from out West, it's weird to adjust to the size of the parks here. On this trip, I doubt it would have been of much use, but for future trips that have better access to bodies of water, make sure to take a filter. That way, you don't need to lug the water around, you can just grab what you need when you need it. Really helps with pack weight, because water should pretty much be the densest thing you are carrying.
