Spring Valley Preserve is known as the “Wisconsin Desert” due to its environment of cacti, dry grasses, sand, lizards, and dunes. We enjoyed our visit and are looking forward to going there again when the prickly pear are blooming!

While I don’t necessarily want to live here for the rest of my life, I do appreciate Wisconsin much more than I used to. We have so many beautiful natural areas that Mike and I have enjoyed exploring. I have a list of more areas in my current notebook for future adventures, as well!

A warm summer noontime finds GB&W train 2 zipping along at a little over 40mph near Hatfield. The faded 319 dates this as long after the McGee era. Still three C424's make for a nice summer distraction even though they look rough in comparison to a decade earlier. July 21, 1992.
Have a great weekend everyone :)

It's just a locked gate behind a riverfront shanty, but I thought it looked cool in the lighting of the moment. Doesn't it look tike there's a group of snow creatures on the other side?

Milwaukee, WI (Milwaukee County)
Milwaukee is the largest city in the state of Wisconsin and the fifth-largest city in the Midwestern United States. The seat of Milwaukee County, the city is located on Lake Michigan's southwestern shore and was incorporated in 1846. As of the U.S. Census Bureau's July 1, 2019 estimate, Milwaukee had a population of 590,157, making it the 31st largest city in the United States and the fourth-largest city situated along one of the Great Lakes.
The first large wave of settlement to the areas that would later become Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee began in 1835, following removal of the tribes in the Council of Three Fires. Early that year it became known that Juneau and Kilbourn intended to lay out competing town-sites. By the year's end both had purchased their lands from the government and made their first sales. There were perhaps 100 new settlers in this year, mostly from New England and other Eastern states. On September 17, 1835, the first election was held in Milwaukee; the number of votes cast was 39.

We were out early in the morning with the hope of seeing some eagles feeding. While we did see some, they were more interested in sleeping. Mother nature did not fail though, the beautiful steam coming off of the Wisconsin River.
