The weekend looks bad - rain - but Friday looks wonderful.
Since I'll be working on Saturday I might as well take Friday afternoon off.

Part of the black track - south of Orangeville

 
 

Again part of the black track - getting close to heading into Wisconsin

 
 

West of South Wayne - a wooden bridge over 'old' railroad tracks - dead end road

 
 

That dead end road - it just looked nice

 
 

World's largest em.  Platte Mound N-E of Platville, WI

 
 

The Potosi (WI) brewery - Potosi Beer.
Grandfather Adam Schumacher was brewmaster at one time.

There's a webite devoted to the history and restoration
(click to see a nice old picture of the building)

I learned a great deal about my relatives by reading "The Complete History" link (here)

 
 

SR-133 about a mile West of Potosi

 
 

Heading down a side road to the Mississippi

 
 

Down by the river - and that's not even the river - just some backwaters

 
 

Yep - nice and muddy - I'll have some cleaning to do...  Maybe.

 
 

Just East of Potosi - looking South.  Burlington Northern R.R. Tracks.

 
 

Dubuque IA - looking North at the US-20 bridge over the Mississippi

 
 

US-20 / Mississippi bridge - heading East / home
