Well, Hello There

The Truck in the Tree It's a truck and you guessed it, it's in a tree! Just outside of Clinton Wisconsin this strange sight acts as a landmark on interstate 43. Bizarre as it may seem, the truck in the tree was an act of love. Young Luke Madson asked his father Mark to build him a tree-house and this was the unique result.  The truck even has its own website!  http://truckinthetree.com/ The Pink Elephant Travelers can visit "Pinkie" the Elephant while cruising through DeForest, WI. Pinkie sits alongside the highway in a gas station parking lot, complete with hipster eye-wear.  National Freshwater Hall of Fame  Even if you aren't into fishing the National Freshwater Hall of Fame in Hayward is worth a stop! Where else can you explore the belly of a giant fiberglass Musky?  Bonus: If you're lucky you might find a Yeti.

Cleo's: I feel like I can't write a post about Appleton without mentioning Cleo's. This bar is a local legend with some truly unique decor. Fair warning though

Cake Talk. That's right ladies and gents you read that headline correctly. I'm talking 2 ingredient cakes! 2 ingredients, no more, no less! Who could deny such a beautiful thing? I'm not sure if I've digressed quite enough to make it clear to everyone how much I love cakes, ice cream or anything relatively dessert like and delicious. So, this is me telling you that I LOVE treats! You can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon the idea of two ingredient cakes. First off, you only have to buy two things to make it so they're cheap, secondly all of the recipes boast how these cakes are somehow healthier for you due to the lack of ingredients.

All that you need is angel food cake mix and a can of diced pineapples. If you're an overachiever like me you should also invest in some whipped cream b
