They're from Chicago, but settled in Eagle River. I've visited them there, and it's beautiful! It was in January, but it was still beautiful.

On edit, it's North Woods, not country.

Ripon...

:hug:

[mcctatas]

9. OMG Peggy!

I went to college in Ripon!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. You did?

Wow...my dad was teaching there in 1943 when I was born...

He got drafted into the War, and my mom and I went home to her parents in Illinois...

I was only a few months old at the time. I did return to visit the town much later, and the people who own the house where my parents and I lived allowed me to come in and see the place!

I also toured the hospital...

My mini-Roots Odyssey!

It is a beautiful little town...


:hug:

[mcctatas]

21. OK, again, weird...

when I was younger, my dad was the Dean of Career Planning at Ripon (in fact if you look in the Friday nite picture thread, the first one was taken in Metomen house which was a TB hospital in the early years and then converted into faculty housing). What a small, small world. I would actually love living in Ripon again, it is such a great little town, even if it was the birthplace of the Republican party :P

[malta blue]

in my first incarnation as a college student I went to UW Platteville and every year the Delta Sigs would put up a huge wrap around banner that said "After further review, the bears still suck" of course that was when I bartended at the 'gentlemans club' and Da Bears were great tippers!

62. and that my friend...

is the BEST thing about WI!

[Rabrrrrrr]

63. It is fucking beautiful everywhere, with a varied terrain of rolling hills and open plains

and areas filled with lakes and rivers and awesome pines that come to the edge of the highway.

And the highways in Wisconsin are some of the best kept, smoothest, and nicest roads to drive on in the country.

[MineralMan]

64. Its agreement with Minnesota lets me

begin walleye fishing a couple of weeks early on the St. Croix River. That's got to be a good thing. Further, I could not fish for sturgeon at all except with the border waters agreement.

Note for PETA members: All fish I catch are released, unharmed, so I can catch them again. Fishies love to play with me.
