FWIW He wasn't really in the bush. He was in a suburb of Madison called Middletown where there are corn fields on the outskirts of residential neighborhoods and the weather was fairly mild last weekend. Low humidity and 80ish F.
Ahh, apparently there is a small town called Middletown right next to the city Middleton.
Well the "town" is a township[1], not really a town as people outside the Midwest US (edit: and parts of New England) would think of it. Just a level of municipality lower than a county, a last vestige of the Northwest Ordinance[2]. Lots of incorporated cities tend to border or be surrounded by towns of the same name.
