The End Of Days

or at least the end of days in Lacrosse. After Kari had left with Austin back to Germany, Alex, Anton and Bart had a few days left before returning back to Germany as well. Durning this time the dessision was made to show the children the highlights of the are in which their parents grew up. So. we travelled through-out the area taking in the sights.


This was a favorite spot of Barts childhood. Lyghtholds Bridge(sp) an old railroad bridge, now part of a bike trail, over the Black River. Enjoyed jumping off as a child but only climbed down to the sandbar below this day.


The town of Onalaska, home of 'sunfish days'.


Here is lock and dam #7, as seen from the Minnesota side. One of the systems to help regulate the Mississippi River.


Also took a trip to city brewery, La crosse's brewery. here the kids look into one of the historic kettels that are no longer in use.


The old king of beer. (not Bart)
