4995. Go to the Paine Woodland in Oshkosh

 Stacy asked if I wanted to see the Nature of Light Exhibit at the Paine. Of course I did. We made plans, COVID rescheduled those plans. Before meeting up to see the exhibit, we met for dinner. Then we had over an hour to kill before our admission time. 

As we walked over to the giant rock that I discovered last year, we found something even better... a hidden woodland. It turns out it is the Paine Woodland and is part of the Paine Property even if it is across the street.

The Paine Woodland is a small wooded area that features plants that are native to Woodland Wisconsin.




There is short path through this woodland which opens to a grassy area that has a tree with a branch perfect for sitting on. Okay so it was not as easy to sit on as it looked like.


There is also a nice grassy hill that is great for rolling down. It's been years since I rolled down a hill. It's still fun and dizzying. I did it once and let the kids to do it over and over.




The Paine Woodland is nice sanctuary in the middle of Oshkosh and if you are visiting the Paine take a stroll through the Woodlands across the street.
