Council Grounds State Park - Merrill, Wisconsin
This 508 acre park along the Wisconsin River in north-central Wisconsin has been used by humans for centuries. Some park artifacts date back to around 600 AD. Native American Chippewas met for celebrations here beginning around 1600 AD. In the late 19th century loggers met here to sort the rafted lumber for downstream mills. The park site is beautifully situated with the Lake Alexander flowage on it's north and the Wisconsin River on it's west side. Nature trails take you past the park's impressive stands of White Pine. The 55 family campsites with showers are in a heavily wooded area near the river and lake. This video includes the group campground. Music downloaded from Garageband.com. Slideshow by John Wanserski.

Amnicon Falls State Park - Superior, Wisconsin
This 825 acre park near Superior, Wisconsin has a number of beautiful waterfalls and cascades along the Amnicon River. A half billion years ago earthquakes along the Douglas Fault caused lava flows across the region. Ancient seas deposited sandstone over the underlying lava before the earthquakes. Since the last glaciers past here the sandstone has been eroding down to the basalt bedrock. The result along the Douglas Fault line has been a series of waterfalls that are the main features of the park. A small brownstone quarry in the park operated for about 20 years in the 1880s. Trout, walleye and smelt travel up the Amnicon River in the spring to spawn. Coho and Chinook salmon spawn during the fall. There are 36 primitive campsites with no showers. About 1.8 miles of trails cover both sides of the river and cross through a picturesque covered bridge. Music downloaded from Garageband.com. Other music by Malignant Choir and Paul Ehlers c 2009.

Wisconsin - America's Dairyland
Pictures from America's most beautiful state.
Agriculture is Wisconsin's largest industry at an estimated $51.5 billion. Within it, dairying is the largest segment. In fact, the dairy industry's impact represents $20.6 billion in Wisconsin's economy -- larger than both manufacturing and tourism.

American Queen - Trempealeau, Wisconsin
The American Queen moves through Trempealeau, Wisconsin on August 21, 2014. She is said to be the largest river steamboat ever built. The ship was built in 1995 and is a six-deck recreation of a classic Mississippi riverboat, built by McDermott Shipyard for the Delta Queen Steamboat Company. Although the American Queen's stern paddlewheel is indeed powered by a genuine steam plant, her secondary propulsion, in case of an emergency and for maneuverability around tight areas where the paddle wheel can not navigate, comes from a set of diesel-electric propellers known as Z-drives on either side of the sternwheel. She has 222 state rooms for a capacity of 436 guests and a crew of 160. She is 418 feet long and 89 feet wide. Thank you to the lock master, and to theTrempealeau Chamber of Commerce for allowing me this opportunity!

Winter Driving in Western Wisconsin February 2014
The places I have to go to tune a piano! I set my smartphone between the dashboard and the windshield. With few radio stations in range, I tuned into French Canadian music on satellite radio but the phone picked up mostly road noise. Western Wisconsin is picturesque in any season. The snow cover and leafless trees and strobe light effect of the sun at certain times are all part of the charm.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Wisconsin ( (listen)) is a U.S. state located in the north-central United States, in the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. It is bordered by Minnesota to the west, Iowa to the southwest, Illinois to the south, Lake Michigan to the east, Michigan to the northeast, and Lake Superior to the north. Wisconsin is the 23rd largest state by total area and the 20th most populous. The state capital is Madison, and its largest city is Milwaukee, which is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan. The state is divided into 72 counties.
Wisconsin's geography is diverse, having been greatly impacted by glaciers during the Ice Age with the exception of the Driftless Area. The Northern Highland and Western Upland along with a part of the Central Plain occupies the western part of the state, with lowlands stretching to the shore of Lake Michigan. Wisconsin is second to Michigan in the length of its Great Lakes coastline.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, a large number of European settlers entered the state, many of whom emigrated from Germany and Scandinavia. Like neighboring Minnesota, the state remains a center of German American and Scandinavian American culture.
Wisconsin is known as America's Dairyland because it is one of the nation's leading dairy producers, particularly famous for its cheese. Manufacturing, especially paper products, information technology (IT), cranberries, ginseng and tourism are also major contributors to the state's economy.

Aztalan State Park
Aztalan State Park is one of Wisconsin's most important archaeological sites. It contains an ancient Middle-Mississippian village and ceremonial complex that existed between A.D. 1000 and 1300. The site was rediscovered in 1835. In 1850 Increase A. Lapham investigated the site. It became a state park in 1952, a National Landmark in 1964 and listed in the National Registry of Historic Places in 1966. The occupants of Aztalan built large, flat-topped pyramid shaped mounds and a stockade around their village. Music by Malignant Choir. Slideshow by John Wanserski.

Mill Bluff State Park - April 29, 2011
Visit by twin sisters to make a quick ascent of Mill Bluff at (where else?) Mill Bluff State Park, in Monroe County, Wisconsin.
One sister counted 232 steps on the way up to the observation deck; the other sister counted 228 steps on the way down. The difference was not greater than 5 percent -- and we were a little tired -- therefore there was no recount. (The Wisconsin DNR reports that there are 223 steps.)
The droning noise in the background is either the auto-focus/image stabilization mechanism in the Samsung NV24HD camera or traffic on the nearby interstate highway -- I-90/94.
