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!

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. What more could one want? 

Dr.Evermor's Forevertron


Dr.Evermor's creation is truly something else! For a pitstop unlike any other be sure to check out Forevertron in North Freedom, Wisconsin. The tale behind this strange location is equally fascinating.... read more about the lore of this location below!

The House on the Rock


Personally the House on the Rock reminds me of a million Grandmother's basements crammed into one and I am quite alright with never visiting again. That being said, the House on the Rock is bizarre, overwhelming and more than likely haunted AF. If you're a Wisconsin native who hasn't checked this place out yet you probably should just to say you have. 


UFO Landing Port


The truth is out there homie! Bob Tohak of Poland WI, knows what I'm talking about! *Queue X-Files theme song*

Bronze Fonz


Because you know... Happy Days! Stop by MKE to get your picture with the one and only Bronz Fonz! Some Milwaukeeans kindly refer to it as "really quite ugly", but any true fan can appreciate it's tacky awesomeness.  


Top Secret



Only in Wisconsin Dells will you find something this wacky. It's a Conspiracy! Aliens, Government cover-ups and mysteries, oh my! 

Giant Catfish



Wisconsinites really love big-a@# fiberglass fish. Catfish are the pride and joy of Trempealeau Wisconsin! Visit in July to attend their Annual Catfish Days festival!

They don't call Milwaukee "Brew City" for nothing. If there's one thing we know how to do here it's brew beer! There are tons of great brewery tours throughout the city, one of the most popular being Lakefront Brewery on Milwaukee's East Side. http://bit.ly/2E1Bx9I Take the tour and learn the history behind Lakefront Brewery and the science that creates the beautiful nectar of the Gods we all know and love, beer. Lakefront Brewery has one of the most popular tours in Milwaukee and tickets sell out fast! Don't make the same mistake as I did and be sure to purchase tickets ahead of time online,but be wary, print is the only ticket option so be sure you have a printer handy. If you forget to buy tickets ahead of time or if you're printer is acting up(darn things, grrr) fear not, Lakefront now offers 20-minute "mini tours" Saturday evenings. Each tour is jam-packed with interesting factoids about sourcing, brewing and bottling beer, the

The American Horror Story Guide to New Orleans

New Orleans' rich history made for the perfect setting for season three of AHS, Coven. From Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau to deranged mass murderer Delphine LaLaurie, these figures weren't just characters in a TV show, they were real people who lived out their days in The Big Easy and who left their mark on the city forever. Now, AHS did take a few artistic liberties, for example, Laveau and LaLaurie weren't sworn enemies, in fact, they weren't even alive during the same time period. But AHS also got some things right, in addition to crafting Gris-Gris bags for healing and good luck Marie Laveau really was a hairdresser and Delphine LaLaurie was indeed as dark and sinister as portrayed. If you find yourself in NOLA and want to do some Coven-inspired sight-seeing here are a few stops you won't want to miss.  Marie Laveau's Tomb  Nestled in the famed St. Louis Cemetary No. 1 , you'll need to join a tour group to experience this piece of living history as it&

My 100th Post

My 100th post, well this seems momentous.  A measly 100 blog entries may not seem like much to the seasoned writer but for me this feels like something worth celebrating. There are days I have the nagging feeling I should write more, but inspiration can be a tricky SOB. Luckily, there are also plenty of times when words begin to flow effortlessly from my fingertips creating some sort of wacky treat to be shared on this very domain.  https://static.tumblr.com/1df2ace841283819dd2d135a9375256f/kjwr8ge/HZYo0k4n4/tumblr_static_tumblr_static_80zqtbx2txs8wcs8woo0ksw8g_640.jpg My writing has undergone quite the metamorphosis. The literary version of Neville Longbottoming if you will. After completing two years of journalism school rereading my previous entries can legitimately be cringe inducing. Oh yes, there are grammatical eye-sores aplenty and I am totally guilty of pressing the "edit" button to atone for some of my past sins.  http://68.media.tumblr.com/0ccbdc
