Sunny days, cool nights - September is delivering perfect conditions for fall color, starting in the northwoods and marching south. As you plan your Wisconsin B&B getaway, you might want to log on to TravelWisconsin.com for up-to-the-minute fall color reports; you can even request the report be delivered to your e-mail. The Department of Tourism has dozens of spotters around the state, so it’s a great little tool. On your drive, maybe set aside time for a little detour to enjoy a Wisconsin Rustic Road. Lest you think “rustic roads” is a clever title for unimproved roads, think again. These roads, with their terrific natural features, offer hikers, bikers, and motorists a less-traveled escape into some of the finest scenery the Midwest has to offer. There are more than 500 designated miles of Rustic Roads in 54 counties of the state, many with B&Bs close-by.
