Abe Martin’s Bucket List Month at eXplore Brown County
You’re never too old to enjoy eXplore Brown County’s 15 different zip lines offered on four uniquely different tours! The courses are low impact and lots of fun for all ages. It only takes a short climb of 12 steps to a platform and then you are soaring on a zip line up to 80 feet in the air! Bucket List Month features the quips of Brown County cartoonist Ken Hubbard’s character Abe Martin. Hubbard's humor is as timely today as it was during the 1930s. Guides will share the folk characters of Brown County through Hubbard’s humor and Abe’s enlightened words from Brown County history!
