Thursday afternoon the NU180 team was treated to a tour of the campus of the University of Wisconsin.  Kate Dale once again joined our Fan on the Ground, Aimee, and brought along her husband and fellow UW graduate, George.

Memorial Union, Union South, Bascom Hill, and many points in-between, we spent some quality time touring this beautiful campus.

The northern section of the campus borders Lake Mendota, and the famous Memorial Union Terrace sits right on the lake.  It was incredible to see students studying, lounging and socializing in a space whose aesthetic is normally reserved for vacation destinations!

A bizarre weather front rolled in around 4:00pm that day, bringing 60+ mile an hour winds for a while.  Kate and George Dale, our tour guides, said they’d never seen weather like that on Lake Mendota.

Here was our video called “The Town”, where we took a tour of notable Madison locations.

Here was our video called “The Road Trip”, which documented our ride from Omaha to Madison.
