R-34 leads east of the village of Alvin through a heavily wooded area, including a 50-year-old pine plantation.

The Battleship Wisconsin was built in Philadelphia and launched on December 7, 1943, two years after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. During her career she saw action during World War II, Korea and in Operation Desert Storm. She was decommissioned for the final time in September 1991 and today sits as a floating museum on the waterfront in Norfolk, Virginia. The Battleship Wisconsin (BB-64) was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. (12000178)
This little guy stuck his tongue out at me. Guess he didn't appreciate my camera in his face while he was trying to stay warm on a very chilly morning last May.
Built in 1928, this Art Deco-style skyscraper was built to house the offices of the Wisconsin Power and Light Company. The building is clad in limestone with a classically-inspired tripartite composition. The two-story base of the building is relatively plain with limestone panel cladding, large storefront windows on the first floor, a front entrance with a large decorative transom and a canopy over the sidewalk, smaller one-over-one windows on the second floor, with the top of the base being demarcated by a band of extruded belt coursing at the base of the sills of the third-floor windows, with greek key motif on several portions. Above the base is the shaft of the building’s exterior composition, which features one-over-one windows with the middle bays in groups of three and four featuring decorative recessed spandrel panels featuring depictions of electrical generators, a unique choice and a nod to the building’s original tenant. The spandrel panels end at the base of the ninth floor windows, with the tenth floor windows being detached, forming part of the capital of the composition, with a band of extruded belt coursing around the base of the parapet, with volutes and stepped parapets enclosing the low-slope roof, and carved relief panels. The building has since become known as the Hovde Building, and houses several commercial office tenants.
This thumbnail image shows my road trip mascot, Unicorn, perched atop a cow statue in Madison, WI. Unicorn made the journey from Phoenix to Pittsburgh, where it was abandoned in a hotel lobby in the hopes of making a stranger laugh. In addition to wonderful dairy products, Wisconsin has great beer to offer travelers.

The Alma Historic District encompasses over 100 buildings and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Alma is a charming Swiss Community located on the Mississippi River in the scenic Driftless region of the state. It serves as the seat of Buffalo County.
Portage, Wisconsin
Constructed started in 1849 to connect the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers. The full canal system was not completed until 1876 by the Army Corps of Engineers but by then the railroad had bypassed water as the main mode of transportation.
I find this curious. Why not specify when the building is open instead. This must have been placed by someone who sees the glass as half-empty, not half full.
This historic, though heavily remodeled bar and grill in Whitelaw, WI. is perhaps the perfect encapsulation of small town living in Wisconsin.
