one day and 1,400 or so miles later we’re back in the wisconsin where the delicacy found at gas stations is fresh cheese curds instead of salt fish.

209/365. driftless commute.
the scenic commute in these parts never gets old.
200/365. what’s the frequency, kenneth?
i run by a lot of utility poles in town and i’m almost certain that only one has this wireless device attached to it. i run by this particular utility pole more often than not and i think the device is new. or newish. i’m sure it has some non-conspiratorial, valid purpose and it’s going to drive me nuts until i find out. it has line of sight with a water tower that has other wireless antennas on it and the county jail so those are the ( perhaps red herring ) clues. any guesses? i doubt it’s wifi. some sort of dispatch unit?
and surely i don’t have to explain the title reference to you?
192/365. explosions in the sky.
indeed, the earth is not a cold dead place ( see what i did there? ). seen on my early evening run. had to trespass in a few backyards to get a proper vantage. glad i made the effort 🙂
they say, the average cloud weighs a million pounds. i’m guess this one is above average.
167/365. a polite plea.
small town crime scene.
164/365. the world’s largest six pack.
the self purported world’s largest six pack is at the city brewing company in la crosse, wisconsin. the sign says it would fill over 7 million twelve-ounce cans, which “would provide one person a six-pack a day for 3,351 years.”
three chimneys. the sleeping place of the gods.
the driftless region has a really interesting geologic history that allowed prehistoric rock formations to remain standing ( read more in “The Driftless Area: Wisconsin’s strange geology”. )
this formation is known simply as “three chimneys”. legend has it that these rocks were a sacred place to the native americans and that indian gods slept on top of the rocks.
