Finding myself behind the wheel of a thirty-six foot long, twelve hundred horsepower jet boat speeding across the scenic Upper Dells Wisconsin River is something I’ll never forget.
Having the opportunity for such a memorable experience was made possible by the generosity of Ron Yohn, who for my latest Dells Bucket List adventure, taught me how to do exhilarating spins, splashes, and power stops in one of the Captain Ron’s Original and WildThing Jet Boats.

DELLS BUCKET LIST #14 - Carving a wood sculpture at WATSON WOODS
Usually, using power tools is something I try to avoid whenever possible, but during my latest Dells Bucket List adventure not only did I find myself wielding a chainsaw, I realized that it can be rather fun as well.
DELLS BUCKET LIST #9 - Going behind-the-scenes of RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
Holding someone’s head in the palm of my hand, especially one detached from their body and shrunken down to the size of a coconut, is something I know I’ll never forget.
This admittedly freaky occurrence took place recently during my behind-the-scenes tour of downtown’s Ripley’s Believe It or Not! “Odditorium,” where getting to hold a few of their authentic shrunken heads was one of the many highlights.

DELLS BUCKET LIST #8 - Going behind-the-scenes of WIZARD QUEST
They’re aren’t too many afternoons when one can say they experienced what it’s like to be inside the middle of a tornado, swam through a tunnel of plastic balls, and ate popcorn that tastes like beer, but all these out of the ordinary occurrences took place during my latest Dells Bucket List adventure - when I visited the 4D Special F/X Theater, Wizard Quest, and Oodlesmack Gourmet Popcorn.
DELLS BUCKET LIST #7 - Going behind-the-scenes of RIVERSIDE & GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY
The famous phrase “I-Think-I-Can-I-Think-I-Can” was one that went through my head many nights as a child while drifting off to sleep after my mother read me the classic tale The Little Engine That Could. While I most likely haven’t thought of that saying in over of thirty years, it was the first thing that popped into my head the morning I recently went behind-the-scenes of the Riverside and Great Northern Railway for my latest Dells Bucket List adventure.
Interview with Capone's The Old Time Picture Studio owner & son - Peggy Anderson and Jason Oksanan
Visitors to the Dells have been getting Old Time pictures taken of themselves at various studios around town for nearly four decades, but the oldest of the bunch is Capone’s The Original Old Time Picture Studio. It’s a place where you can fulfill your fantasy to dress up as a cowboy, gangster, or to wear Civil War and Victorian era costumes and not feel too silly while doing so. Owner Peggy Anderson and her son Jason Oksanan recently took the time to tell me a little about their unique business, and why they feel their studio is the best.
