Images of Wisconsin (La Crosse, Portage: mall, snakes, summer)

[JoshB]

Due to the high gas prices I've been cutting back on driving so I haven't been able to take as many pictures. Any ways today I traveled to Poynette which is 20 minutes south of Portage. Poynette is growing at a nice steady pace. Any ways I know some forum members enjoy pictures of towns so I thought I would share mine.

First of all is John Muir View just south of Poynette on U.S. 51




Downtown Poynette





The Good ol American Downtown

I love those little towns! Some of them if you took the new cars out, you couldn't tell if the picture was taken yesterday or 20 years ago.






Here comes the sun........

[quote=Hntr;3646316]I have some real neat ones I took over the Rockies and some others I shot some where over Arizona.


Did you post any of those up on the other states threads?

[Hntr]

Hi Everwinter, no I never posted them anywhere else. We flew out Milwaukee going to Phoenix. I don't know if the crop circles were over Colorado or Arizona. The fire was somewhere north of Phoenix in AZ. I took the pictures on July 9, 2004. You can see how much has been burned.

The dark lines in the first pictures are frost on the windows of the plane.

Love the pictures. Thanks

Thanks for the awesome pictures, takes my mind off the negative comments about new people not knowing anything about Wisconsin!!! :-(

I drove back from Iowa (via 151 from Dubuque) but I got off and cut through Horicon and then through Kettle Morraine! Awesome views everywhere! I took as many county roads as I could, it was really fun!

We are in the military and currently living in Tennessee (which is a beautiful place, btw), but there is no place like home. Home for me is South-eastern Wisconsin. I miss it there so much sometimes! Some of those photos made me cry with homesickness. Thanks for the thread.

P.S. We have lived in WA, VA, GA, KS, and TN (as well as overseas), and I still think that Wisconsin is one of the most beautiful states in this country.

I lived in Clarksville, TN, too (currently live in IL). I know what you mean about being homesick. I couldnt get out of there fast enough.

Nice pics, Josh! Keep em coming!

I've been through Clarksville several times on my way to Waynesboro, TN. I admit TN has alot of great scenery but the area west of Nashville, between Clarksville and Waynesboro actually scared me a little driving through, it just felt strange.
