I started my Wisconsin day by dining on the usual low-rent hotel spread from Best Western. But afterwards I went back over the bridge into Michigan to get a coffee at a Dunkin I noticed yesterday afternoon. First stop of the day was in Titletown, AKA Green Bay, to take the first Roadside America photo of the day, the World’s Largest Hex Nut. RA says it’s 10 feet tall, but the plaque in front of it says it’s 12-feet tall, should have brought a tape measure. While watching football on Sundays, I’d always heard that Green Bay was the smallest city to have an NFL team. And having now driven through it and seen the population figure on the town’s size, I definitely understand now.
After leaving Green Bay and turning west, for the first time it felt like the adventure was actually winding down. No more people to visit, and it is just 1 week until I’m home. But the weird will keep on coming. RA photo #2 was of the Lickety Licious Fiberglass Cone outside a place that has everything a summer day needs, donuts, ice cream, a soda fountain, and a miniature golf course. I got my scoop of ice cream in a cup and sat in a chair outside while watching traffic go by on Wisconsin 22 just outside Wild Rose, WI.
This last Roadside America photo was kind of sad looking item called Giant Mouse with Cheese, if he had cheese, he’s eaten it or it’s been stolen, but I planned my route this way, so why not? One good thing came about this way here, the 10-year-old me got a kick out of my spoken directions. In Wisconsin, the county roads are letters, so being told in an Australian accent to continue on County Road PP just made me smile.
