#63/122. Magnificent
In the late 1800's, many of Chicago's wealthy families built magnificent summer homes along the shore of Geneva Lake in southern Wisconsin. Stone Manor, built by Otto Young is the largest estate ever built on the lake. Otto started his American business life selling costume jewelry from a pushcart on the sidewalks of New York City. After the Chicago Fire of 1871, Mr. Young moved to Chicago and began investing heavily in real estate in the burned out city. Though many thought that Chicago would never rebuild after the devastation of the fire, Otto saw the opportunity and he stockpiled an enormous fortune.
There are seven levels in this historic estate. Complete with 2 sub-basements, 4 main levels, and a sprawling roof terrace. A 250-foot wide veranda completes this architectural wonder that stretches an amazing 174 feet along the lakeshore. The exterior walls feature Bedford limestone, the interior walls are covered in Tennessee marble and hand laid parquet tile floors complete this majestic masterpiece. When completed in 1901, all of the doorknobs, plumbing and electrical fixtures on the main level were 14kt gold plated, with matching solid sterling silver on the 2nd floor. Ceilings in the mansion are hand-carved out of mortar and lavishly decorated by European artists with breath-taking oil paintings.

These images were made during a journey down Rustic Road 32 in Marinette County on June 24, 2017.
R-32, Wisconsin’s longest rustic road, offers a 37-mile journey through several county parks and the Peshtigo River State Forest. The route features multiple species of hardwoods and conifers, along with numerous granite boulders and outcroppings. R-32 also offers vistas of the Thunder and Peshtigo rivers.
Wisconsin's Rustic Roads system was created to preserve many of the state's scenic, lightly traveled country roads. Features of Rustic Roads include rugged terrain, native vegetation and wildlife, or open areas with agricultural vistas.

Racine, Wisconsin
There has been a Kewpee's in Racine since 1926. It was one of the earliest franchises, and at one time there were over 200 Kewpees in the Midwest and East. Now just 5 are left, and this is the only Wisconsin one. The chain is named after the Kewpie doll, the inside has a collection of everything Kewpie-related.
With a Sunday free, Marty figured we all ought to pile into the car and go to the Wisconsin Dells. The goal was to see the geography (rather than all of the weird-ass amusement parks and water parks), hit The Wonderspot, and then maybe see what's become of Lake Delton. Wisconsin got some pretty heavy rains a while back, and they wiped out the dam that held in place the waters of the artificial lake.
Also on the agenda, though, was lunch at Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty with an all you can eat waited table buffet!
Over 10,000 Latinxs, immigrants, and their allies gathered at the Capitol in Madison to protest two anti-immigrant, anti-local control bills being passed through the Legislature.
