Years ago while paddling along out on Devil’s Lake we came across this young couple who were out paddling as well.  We learned then that they were a bit new to kayaking and actually lived nearby  in  Reedsburg, a community about 15 miles from our home here in Baraboo.  Now, as often happens when you meet people in passing, we sort of dropped out of touch.  It wasn’t until yesterday when we were out riding on the 400 bike trail that we realized that they were now married and owned an outdoor shop right along the trail.

Beyond Boundaries is located in Wonewoc, Wisconsin on the mid-way point of the 400 trail.  They are open Mon, Wed., Friday from 9am to 3:30 pm and 8 to 5 on weekends.  Beyond Boundaries offers bike, canoe, kayak rentals & shuttle service.  They also have a bike shop and small store offering snacks, ice cream an more.  Their shop is a bit of an oasis along the 400. Another thing that makes their shop interesting  (besides talking to their dog of course) is exploring their building which was once a grain mill.  It’s really quite impressive.  And talk about circles within circles; Mary grew up in Wonewoc as a child and used to go with her father to have the corn ground up at this very mill.  Small world.

Now the guys don’t have a website yet as they just opened in the fall of last year, however they do have on of those rockin’ myspace pages you can check out. You can also call them at 608-Go4Ride (608-464-7433.
