By the way, viii Godfrey did not
discover Suspender Lake, notwith-
standing his affidavits to that effect.
An old Indian legend that picked up
puts the discoverer as the first mother
of man. At that time it was known
not as Suspender Lake but just plain,
Flood. How come, Will, how come?

Our first day took the party up to
Shawano Lake, where we stopped at
the new Shawano Lake Inn. This re
sort although new, and the service
rather raw, is a godsend to the people
of Milwaukee, for Shawano is the
logical first night stop on the way 'sup
north y There is not much of interest
on the way to Shawano until one ar
rives at Neenah. There we get the
once over on the second richest city
per population in the United States
and it is a beautiful place An ex-
cellent place to eat is the Valley Inn.
You are always sure to get a well
cooked meal served on dishes that
have the possibility of breaking,
which il always interesting. Pass
ing from Neenah to Menasha you
cross the Fox River which played
such an important part in the devei =
ment of Wisconsin. Appleton with IS
gigantic paper mills and university
is always interesting. 1t is so clean
that even the cops refrain from smok-
ing while on duty.
As far as / am concerned Appleton
ought to be called Boston. / never
have been able to leave the well beaten
track without being lost. wanted
to show the university and some of
the lovely homelike homes to my
party and soon found myself half way
between somewhere and nowhere.
Thanks to the motor cop who was fol-
lowing me, we were serenely ushered
cut of the city, taking route AZ.
About twenty winks north of Apple

civilization, it is very sudden and def
mite. Here fertile farms, beyond,
waste. 1t is here you begin to get a
touch of the north, and your road

sura do know how to build roads up

Shawano Lake itself is ideal. One
OF the finest sandy shores have ever
seer and the fishing is great for any
who have wiggle ears. Berries of all
kinds abound in abundance, even the
quail and partridge put in their first
appearance. In the neighboThood of
Shawano Lake are number of att
tractive smaller lakes which want to
be visited. There is Loon Lake, Sand
Lake, Potters' Lake, etc. Some have
cottages and others Just fish. am
wondering what Billy Walker would
do if the fishing was bad.
The second day out we continued
on AZ through the Indian Reservations
to Amigo, hence north about 10 miles
taking county highway A, through to
Crandon, there east to Laona. In JUS
tice to ones self and party no one
wants to go cup north, without pass
ing through the historic reservation.
Keshena Falls where the Wolf pounds
its way over rocks that scientists Sell
Us are over million years old. This
IS an ideal place to have a picnic
lunch. Here, if one wishes, he can
catch the tricky trout, or ramble along
shore of one of the meanest streams
in Wisconsin, mean to me, for out of
its black depths, ! once brought the
body of a youth of twelve.
Neopit with its modern saw-mills
and its quaint Indian houses, lends a
cham all of it's own. Here is where
/ again met my good old friends, Louis
Fly and Sandy Doorknob. They'll
show you how to fish the Evergreen,
boys-but leave the home-brew at
home, for you are now on Government

County highway A is to my mind,
the greatest piece of 40 miles in Wis
consin, will not even attempt to de-
scribe it. Suffice to say, it is real
virgin timber, standing 125 feet high,
four to six feet at the butt end thick.
We made this during the most de-
hghtful part of the day, sunset time
in old Wisconsin. Although the road
itself was ideal for speeding up, old
boy we just had to take lots of time.
In fact, ever SO often we would stop,
not to say a word, but just letting
thought sometimes talk to our souls.
