August 1, 2017 Springbrook, WI

this one maybe a little fishy...

We traveled yesterday from extreme north eastern Minnesota back into northern Wisconsin to the Namekegon river, the northern most tributary of the St. Croix national scenic riverway.  To say the least they enjoy canoeing, fishing and a multitude of other water sports, and the stories that go with.  This is even the home of the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, with the world’s record Muskie (57 lbs, 11 oz)  stuffed and on display for everyone to see.  Check out this monster Muskie, it’s a block and a half long!  While it does grab one’s attention it isn’t real, just an effigy erected for anglers and other liars one and all.
 
                

That’s not all on display on the Hall of Fame’s grounds.  They have beautiful flowers that colorfully complement the fish as well.


OK so it’s a slow news day.  I hope the pictures are interesting and colorful.  We’re in need of a little rest.  Next stop a welcomed friendly face in St Germain.  But that’s another story.
