Canadian Pacific 7017 and BNSF 6712 lead CP train 470 under the recently-closed wooden bridge near Reeseville, Wisconsin on June 17, 2020. The bridge, which dates back to the 1960s, was built as a replacement for the previous structure that was destroyed in a Milwaukee Road derailment. The current bridge failed inspection last week and was closed immediately.

It was a nice surprise to arrive Superior and find CN's nod to Wisconsin Central leading a northbound stack train at the Ambridge Soo Line connection. Fun to see it leading outright instead of in the mix of other locomotives.
Canadian Pacific's westbound train 287, rushes westbound through the springtime countryside of Reeseville Wisconsin. I must admit, it was rather pretty.

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!

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.

Sitting along a Northern Wisconsin river on a pleasant summer's afternoon is nothing short of dreamlike, with the only sound being the songs of the local birds and the thoughts in one's mind.

Summer 2019
Saturday we took rural roads to do a bit of "leaf peeping" (looking at autumn colors). All of the photos were taken while driving because our COVID-19 numbers are one of the highest in our nation. It's fortunate that Lori enjoys driving rural roads and has patience with my photography-from -a moving-car attempts.
