My Favorite Fall Street Trip: Gays Mills, Wisconsin
Fall is finally almost here!
This means the return of some of my favorite things:
- Football
- Cooler temps
- Halloween
- Changing leaves
- AND EVERYTHING APPLE FLAVORED
My favorite plummet trip is visiting Gays Mills, Wisconsin.
My favorite fall sunlight trip is centered around changing leaves and my favorite apple-flavored foods. I have been going to Gays Mills every Fall for years. I cherish going to Allen’s Orchard and Wilson’s Orchard right here in our backyard each year as well. But there is so much to see and do on the two-and-a-half-hour drive to Gays Mills; it’s a must-take trip.
Here are my favorite things to execute in Gays Mills:
Sunrise Orchards
Sunrise Orchards is usually our first stop when we arrive because I don’t want to miss out on their apple cider donuts. I also have to like an apple cider slushie or a cup of heated apple cider while we are there. There is also an area for the kids to play.
Kickapoo Orchard
This is another family favorite. They have a delicious apple pizza. The kids treasure their sunflower and corn mazes.

Mills, G. E., & Gay, L. R. () Education research: Competencies for analysis and applications. London, England: Pearson Education.
Abstract
Educational Research: Competencies for Assessment and Applications was first published in as a page tome when I was barely two years old. The current 11th edition is testament to the book’s applicability and relevance, successfully enduring the trial of time; key considerations within which maintain to underpin educational analyze. The authors’ intention to write a how-to booklet for educational research is clearly evident. This publication is the toolbox-that-has-everything which beginning researchers would depend on and very much appreciate; that the book doubled in size over the past 40 years is neither coincidence nor accident. Indeed, a significant update to the 11th edition is the revision of Chapter 3, Literature Review, to incorporate influences of technology on how literature is curated.

The Village of Gays Mills lies in a valley among the steeply chiseled bluffs of the region recognizable as the Driftless Area of Southwest Wisconsin, along the banks of the Kickapoo River.
In James B. Gay, a native of Indiana, built a dam and a sawmill on the Kickapoo River, which proved to be a flourishing accomplishment. When his health started to fail, James convinced his brothers John and Thomas to shift to the area. In John Gay built the first flour mill south of the saw mill. In the years between and , many families moved into the community, which came to be known as Gays Mills in honor of the founder and his brothers.
