Give a Cheer
Pics of a peaceful spot I like to go to on the Wisconsin River where it does a complete u-turn. The historical marker sign is from a short distance away from this spot. It says:
Wisconsin River Headwaters - About two miles east of here, the Wisconsin River has its source in Lac Vieux Desert. Several spellings and meanings were given to the name of the stream in the early days. The Algonquian "Wess-konsan" means "the gathering of the waters." The Winnebago "Wees-koos-erah" is quite different. meaning "river with flowery banks." With its partner, the Fox River, the Wisconsin provided a super-highway for Indian, explorer, adventurer, missionary, and settler, and was a "main street" for the fur-trade. The Wisconsin River travels nearly the entire length of the State and empties into the Mississippi just below Prairie du Chien, about 300 miles from here. Because there are nearly fifty power and storage dams along its route today, the Wisconsin has been called "the hardest working river in America."
I used Walnut Stain on the edges of the chipboard pieces to add a little more definition. The small pink piece says: the great outdoors. The tiny alpha in the top corner is the date July 14 (2009). I used a gold pen along the edge of the shape and traced around the title letters.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
