CAMPING - A visit to a country cheese store on the way to Richardson Lake

Ahhh how many of you non-Wisconsinite readers have ever had string cheese?  REAL string cheese, not that mush stuff in a cellophane tube that is squished in by a machine?

Or REAL cheese curds, so fresh they "SQUEAK" on your teeth as you bite into them???

On our way north tonight, we stopped at a tiny cheesestore called Springside Cheese just north of Spruce, WI on County Trunk B.    Wisconsin is littered with little shops like this on rural crossroads all over our Dairy State.

Here is their website:   http://www.springsidecheese.com/

Yummmmmmmmm

So I grabbed my camera and snapped a few shots

They will sell you slices or chunks of the freshest cheese you ever tasted! 

I snapped a few shots through the glass of where they make the cheese

A few things for the tourists too.... LOL

I bought some string cheese, some cheese curds, some frozen natural casing weiners and a bag of powdered egg whites for baking....  plus I added a pound of sliced Colby Jack cheese for me and a pound Pepperjack cheese for Steveio... yummmmmmmmm  (not on his diet, but he can eat a little at a time)

Ahhh laid out on the dash, to nibble on as we head north...  

The curds just make the most delightful SQUEAK as you bite into them.  

See the whey on the bag yet, that is how fresh they are.  

You know, the nursery rhyme with her Curds and Whey?

and the string cheese is a motzerlla type, very dry and pulls apart in stringy pieces as you eat it.  

Kids LOVE this stuff, and so do we

Not sure where we are going yet, thinking Richardson Lake....  still driving north.  Might not have a signal for the rest of the weekend.. .so will add more when we get back.
