In the years prior to the paper companies dividing up the river, these "islands" were all farmland. The damns pushed the water back up into what we often call the sloughs. But, inadvertantly cropland was no longer reachable, as the byway was under water. You can see where the walkway would have been at this letter "c". Farther south, you can still see part of the rock bridge out to the islands. When the HH bridge was being constructed, and the water of the Wisconsin River was drawn down at this junction, I made the trek with my children, nearly getting across those rocks? That 8x10" picture still garnishes our homes, as it was my 4 oldest, and the adoptee, Ash--Trav's mum (see Wolf's eNd).
In the 1920's, often landowner/farmers sued the paper companies for crop damages caused from the river "back-up", and won.
As a wee one I can recall water coming up to the edge of our car.
As an adult, I'd often take mom back to this location to fish, only to hear her story of how she found the Lady Liberty Quarter just laying there in the mud.
You are looking for a small-medium container (new replacement 8/23), complete with swag.
**Cache has been attached with twine. Try to replace as near as possible, as to keep it off the ground. Thank you
