@Cestovatelka - thanks, glad you enjoyed, I have to take my camera with me everywhere now.  I need to go up in the bluffs to get photos of the Mississippi River valley but if you want to see some old ones I took, click here.

@dmcx2010 - @James2012 - thanks, glad you enjoyed

@carolinavenger - we have a lot of mushrooms here but maybe not the same kind.  Morels?  They look rather phallic.  I can't stand them because I just hate mushrooms.  Whenever I eat them I break out.  People around her go nuts for those morels.  My family tried to promote growth by cutting up logs and strategically placing them in the forest which was damaged by a tornado.  Anyway, people deep fry those mushrooms.  I hear in some places they go for $50 a pound. 

@LadyofWaters - Now that it is Halloween season I'm going to do a post about a landmark in a town I drove through on my way to college every time I went home and back.  It is such a creepy thing.  My little town is now 1400 people and it is pretty peaceful.  I think it's the Amish effect.

@AdamsWomanFell - Everyone seems to laugh when I say I come from a rural area and that my town is the biggest in about a 20 mile radius in every direction.  It's only 1400.  You really like my pole...lol.  One of the mice advertises a cheese store and the other advertises for a grocery store.  It's so weird when you think that there are these two large fiberglass mice within less than a mile of each other.

@nattata - YES!  I knew it although the early settlers of Wisconsin and this area settled here because they said it reminded them of Germany and Bohemia.

@raspberryjade - Mission...accomplished.  There are a few places around here that also have those wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men.  One of those mice advertises a cheese store and the other advertises a grocery store and they are less than a mile apart, maybe a half mile.

@Peridot21 - You know what makes it especially awesome?  The Badgers.  And you know what makes even especiallier more awesomer?  THE GREEN BAY PACKERS!

@bluepillorredpill - Beer, milk, cranberries...I actually live about a half hour away from the Ocean Spray bogs.  Oh and paper (there is a high school that has a mascot called the Papermakers and of course there are a few schools known as Cheesemakers), Tombstone pizza, Kraft foods, Oscar Meyer, Harley Davidson...yeah.  But seriously this area has Amish and cranberries.

@your_paper_heart - Mud duck...yeah it is beautiful down here.  One of the things I always missed about WI when I lived in MN was the winding country roads.  Everything where I lived was flat and straight.

@saturnnights - Yeah I think that's what happened.  My camera couldn't handle the shot with the sun so that's what happened.  Still was an awesome effect.  That bridge is part of a bike trail.  This area is pretty well known for it's bike trails.  People come from all over just to ride their bikes down stretches of trails. 
Oh and I am familiar with Water-tucky.  I nearly attended a private high school in Watertown but I decided against it and went to a school on the other side of the state but that school in Watertown drew me back.  I student taught there for about a semester.  I lived with another teacher on one of the lakes in Watertown.  I also enjoyed the nightlife and how almost every block had a bar.  I think Watertown has the most bars per capita in America.

@leaflesstree - It's awesome to have large mice and valleys but it sucks driving through the rural areas at night and having to be alert for running deer.  Also it sucks because if you want to see a movie or do some major shopping you have to drive.  On the bright side, I've lost weight because the closest McDonald's is about 20 minutes away.

@cja1976 - there is a pizza joint nearby that has a fiberglass moose on their delivery vehicle.  Here it is.  That's sort of scary when you see it coming at you late at night and a passenger in your car has been drinking heavily.

@complicatedlight - The Elroy Sparta trail...check it out.  I was thankful I got just these few photos.  Last year I missed out because the leaves changed and then a day or two later they were gone because of storms.

@xplorrn - Hahahaha...that's awesome.  I've never seen one out on the streets but I've driven by the garages where they keep all of them for weather and repairs.  That is a site to behold.  Dang...now I can't get my plates to say that.  I've wanted a change.  Oh well, my surname on my plates will have to suffice.

@Grannys_Place - thank you, I absolutely love it here.

@spinner_mom - most all the leaves are gone, in fact the only tree on my property that has any leaves on it is my apple tree.  There are no leaves on the other but there are a few apples left on it.  I can't reach them with my picker so I figure I'll let the birds have a treat.

@sleekpeek - yeah, I need to get some more photos of my uncle's farm and going through his forest.  Maybe I'll have to go hunting this year.

@roscoes_farm - I blame him when cheese ends up missing or gets cut.
