Re: Calling all Easterners...er...everyone!
Hi Gerry--On the matter of best views--I take it you have never been to the
"Coulee Region" in the area around La Crosse, WI. It is part of the
Driftless Region, an area that was somehow bypassed by the glaciers from
last several ice ages and thus we avoided the shearing flat of the
landscape. This has left us with a geologically unique area of the world.
On top of that, the Mississippi River valley in front of my home is about 3
miles wide!! If you are planning on attending the AHS convention this year,
feel free to stop by our home. We are about 125 miles downriver from
Minneapolis.
